Product Paula has been doing some research and thinks that there’s an opportunity to do something better for salespeople who sell and market wine. Their current pipeline management process is tedious and expensive.
Paula thinks she can not only save companies time and money but also help them generate more business through a Chrome
plugin and long-term vision of building a robust marketplace to connect growing businesses.
Paula is ready to determine if there’s a product/market fit.
Hello, Product Paula.

Ugh, it’s so time consuming to track our pipeline. It costs thousands of dollars every month and it’s so error prone that we spend over one day a week
just fixing mistakes. I don’t even have enough time to find new customers or expand my product line. Even a simple solution will help!

grahamkennedy.comready-to-try prospects
We’ve been using the Chrome plugin for six months and it has been amazing. Now my assistant is working on my
sales team. She sells 25 Hello Kitty plush toys a week! That’s a 25% increase in sales and a 75% decrease in
overhead in just 45 days!
Every day I use the plugin to review my new sales orders. Then I generate a fast report to review yesterday’s numbers. Finally, I quickly update my prospects list. Then I get to selling!
Now I’m setting up for growth! My team is 100% sales
focused. Soon we will join Product Paula’s marketplace
and find new business!

Analyze the market.
grahamkennedy.com
After reviewing my research, I’ve determined that there are about 400 potential customers and I want to win 200 of them in the 18 months.
There is fragmented competition, there are plenty of tech
savvy prospects, there is a long-term opportunity for distribution partners and there are several compelling related markets to target next.
I can see winning 2,000 customers in 48 months through b2b network effects alone.
