+3. Alarming ambiguity about:
“What the &$&#! is a Customer?”
This bothers me. There has to be a better way.
When have you properly exhausted market segments & customer types? No clear answer in the discussion.
It’s lazy to say – “Ask you current customers why they bought…” Umm… I don’t have any customers. That’s the point of the exercise.

+4. Think: Mutual Disqualification
Lean Startup Metrics Applied to Enterprise Sales
1. What are the reasons the prospect disqualifies your solution?
2. What is the reason you disqualify the person from pursuing a sales process.

+Mutual Disqualification:
Find a Trigger Point early
i.e. If your solution doesn’t solve a significant problem, you’re disqualified.
i.e. NDA – If the prospect isn’t willing to spend one hour with her legal team on this, disqualify them.
i.e. – If the prospect isn’t willing to bring 2-3 additional people into the process, disqualify them.

Sales Process

+6. When someone says “The book says…”, the answer is “Which book?”
Books by Steve Blank, Eric Ries, and others are just the start.
I think of “Lean Startup” as a platform. It’s up to the community (read: you and me) to build apps off of that platform.
