Social Media, Saranac Beer Case Study
This presentation was give to an international audience of publishing professionals working in cross-media from Greece, Italy, Slovenia, Germany, France, USA, Australia, UK and Sweden. The purpose of the presentation was to show how old media models are being disrupted and that there is no turning back from disintermediation. Case studies demonstrate the new rules of free market publishing.
Discussion around how to improve the way you engage with your customers to increase wallet share and reduce churn. The twist is to take advantage of the window of opportunity that 2 seconds when the customer is on your website, on a call, chatting with a teller.
Startups don't win because of a great vision, but because of a superior strategy. If you want to have the superior strategy, you must simply have a better customer insight. Customer discovery principles can help you to get real insights about your customers.
The first rule is to fall in love with a problem, not your solution or business idea. You must have a clear picture what your product is hired to do. With customer interviews and different types of tests your job is to prove value hypothesis (that people are prepared to pay for your solution).
You can write down all your hypotheses on business model canvas, running lean canvas or even in a spreadsheet. Then you have to constantly sketch out alternative business models by asking yourself difficult questions and testing different assumptions.
Steps to customer discovery include developing a vision, setting the hypotheses, getting out of the building and performing a reality checks. The best way to start the customer discovery process is with the riskiest assumptions.
Important tools that can help you with customer discovery are also segmentation, personas, empathy map and value proposition canvas. After exploiting all the tools you should have a clear picture what are your customer's pains and gains and what are they willing to pay for.
When you are doing the customer discovery interviews to get the market insights you have to avoid doing any behavior predictions or being satisfied with compliments, opinions or stalling. What are you looking for is a real commitment from early-evangelists.
Remember, wrong assumptions are mother of all fu*ck-ups, and with customer discovery you can make sure you are not building your business based on the wrong assumptions.

https://bit.ly/BabeSideDoll4u Babeside is a company that specializes in creating handcrafted reborn dolls. These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes. At Babeside, we believe that our reborn dolls can provide comfort and healing to anyone who needs it.
The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations
Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
