The fake intersection
|
There's no intersection between personal and professional lives. It's just one life. Within it, you have sides that are personal and professional. They work and influence each other. Work life is part of what makes life. Personal life is what makes life. Look for the harmony of them. It's like a chord: a set of notes sounding at the same time. Sure, you could play note by note. Or something richer in chords. :) |

Here's a quick exercise you can use to put in the open if your customers are aligned —or if you run a team, if you and your team are aligned. Write every response in 1 minute each. On one post it each. All of the ones who are there at the same time. Each one grabs 3 post-it's Post-it 1. What's the vision of the business? Post-it 2. What's the direction being taken? Post-it 3. What does this look like in reality? If you have a quite similar response, it's a great sign. If there are different...
If your buying ticket is in the thousands, a 50 euro difference won’t make any difference. You might be tempted to use a charm price (finishing in uneven figures [.99; .90; --50]), and it might be devaluing your offering. You haven't seen a McLaren sold for 355 950, have you? Give it a shot and go with round numbers. You might be surprised of what comes off next. And if it doesn't work, you can always go back to the charm.
Might be the thing that livens up your business. To kill offerings is a good thing. You have to do that. Better that YOU do it, than someone doing it for you. It's good when you choose it, it's bad when it's chosen for you (by the competition). A few ways to kill: To get rid of dead weight. To add it into another offering. To create new ones from what does work. To be more efficient. To gain focus. To push yourself to new heights. What can you think of?
