Reaching the 10% of the market
|
Look, you don't need to "reach the 10% of the market/segment". We can all play the numbers game. Basic math ain't that hard. To get to that "10%" is not rocket science. You know what's hard? Taking a stand for something and sticking to it. Knowing that —sometimes— this "something" is not the way to go, let go and take a new approach (and a new something). Finding the ones who actually care about that something. And forget about your solutions —and your brand. If you can help them get what they want, they'll stick to you. But that requires a quote of effort to really understand them. And see what's best for them, and best for you. That might be less than 10%. And that's fine. |

PSA. When you (and your body) need to rest, do so. This is me, today, doing exactly that.
Deliberately not asking for what is the budget doesn't mean you don't talk money. There are other ways to ask what your customer consider their budget. Before any of that, though, you need to think of it as a financial fit. There needs to be a business case for you to move on. And business involves money. :) Here are a few ways of talking about money: We'll find if there's a financial fit. Do you have allocated funds for this project? What were you thinking of investing in this? What did you...
Not asking for what the budget is doesn't mean you don't talk money. It starts with Stopping assuming things. Asking with curiosity (to really understand). Evaluating if what they say they want is actually that.
