Customer
Development
Process Review
The Goal
To determine if there are customers and a market for the vision that is developed by the founders and the product development team.
– Not to gather feature lists from perspective customers, nor is it to run lots of focus groups.
Find out who the customers for your product are & whether the problem you believe you are
solving is important to them
The Goal
Customer validation proves that you have found a set of repeatable customers and a market who
react positively to your product
The Goal
Create end user demand and scale that demand into the company’s sales channel.
Key Marketing Spending & Where you take investment.
The Goal
Transitioning the organization from one that is designed for learning and discovery to a well-
oiled machine engineered for execution.
The Goal
Where we
are at
Discovery & Validation
Tells you the following • Verifies your market • Locates your customers • Tests the perceived value of your product • Identifies the economic buyer
– who’s budget pays for your product - different from user in some cases)
• Establishes your pricing and channel strategy • Checks out yours sales cycle and process
Discovery & Validation
• Have we identified a problem a customer wants solved? • Does our product solve these customer needs? • If so, do we have a viable and profitable business model? • Have we learned enough to go out and sell?

Market Sizing Analysis
Questions
1.What does the venture do “best”, and more importantly, “better” than others? –
2.Who will pay for the venture’s offerings, and are there enough such players ready to pay?
3.How much are potential customers currently paying for similar offerings/ needs?
Market Sizing Analysis
Questions
4. How much value is the venture delivering to customers, and how much will they be potentially ready to pay for its offerings?
5. Assign a number to the value you are delivering to customers. Is it critical. Is your offering saving them $100 or $20?
6. Do the economics work out in the target customer base?
Market Sizing Analysis
Questions
7. How much value or “wallet share” is the venture capturing out of the client’s budget?
8. Who is the venture’s REAL competition? • For Coke and Pepsi, more than each other,
their competition is with the homemade lassi, nimbu pani, juices and even drinking water.
Market Sizing
• Market Sales Potential (MSP) – Prospective Buyers (B) * Quantity Sold (Q) * Price (P)
• The main purpose of market sizing is used – To inform business viability,
• specifically go/no-go decisions,
– Key marketing decisions • pricing of the service or marketing tactics to increase usage.
– Preliminary estimate of the level of operational and technological capabilities required to service the expected market.

Market Sizing Methods
• Top-down Approach
– involves defining a “universe” target market and applying various filters that continually reduces the figure to an estimation of the total addressable market
There are a billion people in China; 70% of them do not have 20/20 vision; eyeglasses sell for $20 a pair;
our addressable market is therefore $14 billion.
Market Sizing Methods
• Bottom Up Approach
– Sizes a market using projections of individual clusters.
– First, identify the customer segments it intends to reach, and then make estimates of their size and growth.
Our retail location at Dongsnhuan in Beijing gets 2500 passersby each weekday. Average conversion rates for retail opticians are
0.8%, so we project selling 20 pairs of glasses a day. We can open 20 locations in a year, so by year's end our annual revenue run
rate will be $1.7 million.
Top Down
Approach
Top-down approach
Starts with an estimate of the overall
market and then evaluates the (limited) successive proportions
that it intends to reach.

Government plans to distribute social
payments to rural farmers through mobile
phones
• Universe = any adult in a rural area
– 20 million adults.
• Out of these, 20% are farmers.
• Payment only works for people with mobile phones, this equates to 70%
• 40% of these, qualify based on crop revenues.
20,000,000 adults * 20% farmers * 70% (mobile ) * 40% (qualify)

Bottom up
approach
Bottom Up Approach
The problem with a top down approach
• Includes different customer segments
• Ignores variables such as operational constraints
The bottom up forecast is more robust and both should be included when evaluating the size of your market.
Methodology
1. Our product/service will save (audience) a lot of money. – We estimate $X per year based on current spending for this
product/service.
2. An average customer will spend $X per year with us because they spend three times that now.
3. Using (example) sales as a proxy (such as copier sales) we think that our average sales rep can make 10 cold calls per day and develop 3 solid leads per week. – Of those, the rep can close 2 per month.
4. At a 2 per month closing rate per rep, that's $Z on an annual basis. – Here's a table of the cash flow based on this: (TABLE)
Methodology
5. Using our experience in (market) as an analog, we estimate that customers will stay with our product for 3.5 years.
6. If we time these cash flows correctly, we can hire 5 new reps per month. – Assuming 90 days to train them and a maximum of 15
reps, here's a table of what we will look like at a full up run rate.
7. Notice that at about 36 months our hit rate drops off and our development $ go back up. – By this time we anticipate competitive pressure and we
will use leads acquired per day and time from conversions to sales as an early warning metric.
Key Points
1. Make sure to ask the right question to size the market as accurately as possible
2. Estimates are only as good as the quality of the information
3. Willingness to purchase and competitor moves are highly subjective
4. Offer ranges rather than point estimates.
BOTTOM UP EXAMPLES
Example 1
• A typical customer will pay us $1,000/year
• We’ll hire five sales reps – Each rep will sell 10 per month
• We’ll lose a certain percentage of customers per year
• We’ll up-sell a certain percentage of customers
• With this math we’ll add approximately $600,000 in annual recurring revenue per year assuming customer dropoff and up-sell equal out
