Start by developing a Business Plan…

No Business Plan survives first contact with customers

Example -‐ Recognize these? Online clothes retailer specialized in fashion and sports (e.g. Adidas, Fila, Vans, Converse, DKNY and Fred Perry).
Raised $160 million (JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Bernard Arnault, BenePon + six).
Developed an innova8ve site with 3D, zoom, 360⁰ rota8on and virtual mannequins, powered by lots of JavaScript and Flash Anima8ons.
Rapidly grew to 420 people and spent heavily on PR pre launch.
Delayed launch repeatedly due to technological problems.
Finally launched in 18 countries simultaneously 8:59 November 3 1999 EST.

What happened? 40 % of visitors could not access the site.
Mac users could not operate the site at all.
The site was very difficult to use and full of errors, oten causing computers to freeze.
Extremely slow to load without broadband.
Only one in four aPempts to make a purchase worked.
Low conversion rates (0.25%).
Conversion rates did double by Christmas.
30% returns, not 10% as projected.
A “low-‐bandwidth version” was relaunched within months.
But low sales + high costs
“Eighty-‐one minutes to pay too much money for a pair of shoes that I am s8ll going to have to wait a week to get?”
=> Bankruptcy.

"Our strong investor base offers a solid founda5on for boo.com. The fact that such interna5onal investors have invested in boo.com reflects the power of our business model and the boo.com brand." Patrik Hedelin, Execu2ve Chairman. (Press Release, Nov 3 1999)
Validated Business Model?

The problem – untested assump8ons!
Visualiza5on of the business
model framwork
Key ac5vi5es Partnering, E-‐commerce, Global taxes & payments, Marke5ng
Value proposi5on Fashion and sports online,
Realis5c shopping experience, “Life-‐s5le choice”
.
Customer rela5onships
Paid & Earned Media Visitor numbers, Conversion rates
Customer
segments “young, well-‐off, fashion-‐ conscious 18 to 24 year olds”
Cost structure Call centres, Return rates, Inventory
Key resources Developers, Risk capital
Revenue Streams Online sales/ full retail price, CAC & Life5me Value
Channels Buying online, Channel conflicts, Zone pricing
Key partners Brands, Warehouses, Logis5cs

What’s wrong with this picture?
• Both Customer Problems and Product Features are hypotheses
• Emphasis on execu8on rather than learning and discovery
• No relevant milestones for marke8ng and sales • Oten leads to premature scaling and a heavy spending hit if product launch fails
You do not know if you are wrong un5l you are out of money/business

More startups fail from a lack of customers than from a failure of product development

• We have processes to manage product development

…they focus on execu8ng the plan…
• Both Customer Problems and Product Features are hypotheses
• Emphasis on execu8on rather than learning and discovery
• No relevant milestones for marke8ng and sales • Oten leads to premature scaling and a heavy spending hit if product launch fails

Customer Development: Key Ideas
• Parallel process to Product Development (agile)
• Measurable checkpoints not 5ed to FCS but to customer insights
• Emphasis on itera5ve learning and discovery before execu5on
• Must be done by small team including CEO/project leader

Customer Development Heuris8cs
• There are no facts inside, so get out of the building!

• Develop a minimum viable product to maximize fast learning.
• Nail it before you scale it – low burn by design!

Be prepared to go off script
If users get worked up – don’t stay on script,
but follow their lead and drill down!
![Page 117: Startup camp chalmers innovation 19 september 2014](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052321/55695459d8b42ad3278b4b1a/html5/thumbnails/117.jpg)
Don’t talk
You should be talking as 8Ple as possible!
Don’t fear ”uncomfortable silence” (let them break it).
80/20 is a good ra8o to aim for.
![Page 118: Startup camp chalmers innovation 19 september 2014](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052321/55695459d8b42ad3278b4b1a/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)
Ask brief follow-‐ups
That sounds expensive/inefficient/painful…
Tell me more!
When was the last 2me that happened?
Can you give an example?
What do you mean by that?
Can you explain that a liMle more?
What else do you do?
How do you feel about that?
What are you thinking?

Bad: You love walking your dog!
Good: How do you feel about walking your dog?

Test Solu8on Hypothesis
1) ”We believe you have this important problem” – listen (check). 2) Demo how your product solves the problem. Focusing on a few key features. Include workflow story: ”life before our product” and ”life ater our product” – listen! 3) ”What would this solu8on need to have for you to purchase it?” Listen, ask follow up ques8ons.

• 1st solu8on test: a three minute video made in the founder’s apartment before a complete code was wriPen. – Generated valuable feedback from visionary customers.
• 2nd solu8on test: another video of the product that was posted on a social network. – Wai8ng list jumped from 5 000 to 75 000.
• Dropbox’s original intent was to build and ship their product in eight weeks.
• Instead, they gathered feedback and launched a public version 18 months later.

Test Product Hypotheses
Ater demoing, ask about other things: Posi8oning – how do they describe the product? Product category (new, exis8ng, resegmented) Compe8tors Features needed for first version Preferred revenue model Pricing Addi8onal service needs Marke8ng – how do they find this type of product? Purchasing process Who has a budget? etc.

Consistent answers from “enough” people?
What are your customers top problems? How much will they pay to solve them?
Does your product concept solve them? Do customers agree?
How much will they pay for it? When?
Can you draw a day-‐in-‐the-‐life of a customer? Before & ater your product
Can you draw the org charts of users, buyers and channels?
