5 REASONS

FOR GROWTHYOU’RE NOT READY

YOU DON’T KNOW SQUAT ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMER

reason #1


@JeremiahGardner


@JeremiahGardner

LEAD WITH EMPATHY

Personally experience your customers’ perspective

Seeing what people really do, not just what they say.

70/30 Empathy Rule


@JeremiahGardner

WHERE TO START?

YOU THINK MARKETING WILL FIX YOUR CRAPPY PRODUCT

reason #2


@JeremiahGardner


@JeremiahGardner

STARTUP GRAVEYARD

We just need one more feature!

“Me Too;” “Uber for…;” “My Grandma Loves It!”;

Falling in love with the solution, not the problem


@JeremiahGardner

CREATING SATISFACTION

YOUR “BRAND” IS JUST A LOGO AND SOME T-SHIRTS

reason #3


@JeremiahGardner


@JeremiahGardner

BRAND = RELATIONSHIP

Shared between the startup and the audience

Discovering the rally point between you and your audience

Evolving and learned; not static and purchased


@JeremiahGardner

CREATING PASSION

YOU THINK A BOT IS THE SAME THING AS A HUMAN

reason #4


@JeremiahGardner


@JeremiahGardner

HUMOMATION

You can’t automate what you don’t already know

Automation requires a growing and engaged audience to nurture

Humans first, bots second


@JeremiahGardner

ASSUME YOU’RE WRONG

YOU THINK A GROWTH HACKER IS THE ANSWER

reason #5


@JeremiahGardner


@JeremiahGardner

GROWTH IS FULL STACK

Growth requires the entire business – the responsibility lies with all of us

Marketing focus vs Growth Focus

Fail Learn Fast


@JeremiahGardner

VALUE ECOSYSTEM

“YOU WILL FIND ONLY WHAT YOU BRING IN.”

- MASTER YODA

GROWTH IS A MINDSET

LEARNING FOCUSED

EXPLORATIVE, ITERATIVE

INTENTIONAL DISCOMFORT

HUMAN FIRST

CUSTOMER-CENTRIC

CROSS-FUNCTIONAL
