It notes that acquiring customers is getting more difficult due to increased competition and saturation in the market. To build better products, companies need to understand their buyers through techniques like buyer personas, customer development conversations, and testing. Data shows that focusing on retention and monetization has a bigger impact on growth than acquisition alone. The document provides examples of frameworks to quantify buyer preferences, willingness to pay, and develop stronger persona-product fits to ensure companies are building products their target customers truly value.
