Data intelligence

  • Is your "solution statement" the mirror-image of the "problem statement?"

We'll help you establish a decision-making framework, collect data about those decisions,

  • Now choose three people from that demographic as your target profiles.
  • Narrow it down to one person.
  • Speak to that person and get a list of problems (with regard to a product/service).

  • Use that very same person to get feedback (so be aware that what you hear and what are saying may be different).

The Trigger

  • List your target profile.
  • List the main problem.
  • List the main solution.
  • Now test the trigger. Do you get the response: "What do you mean by that?" or "How do you do that?" If not, you need to rework your trigger. Start from the top again.
