The entrepreneur’s journey: how people react
“It will never work”
“It’s not really succeeding, is it?”
“you just got lucky”
“I could have done that, easily”
“it was all down to my help”

Tell a story about customers and competition
• Incumbent banks
– ripping off SMEs with high costs and poor service
– no innovation on products, pricing or service for ten years at least
– Very costly and inefficient, and yet highly profitable
– Relationship managers vary from good to awful with little salary difference
![Page 29: Google entrepreneurs by Jo Owen](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55892c2bd8b42aae088b471f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Tell a story about customers and competition
• Incumbent banks– ripping off SMEs with high costs and poor service– no innovation on products, pricing or service for ten years at least– Very costly and inefficient, and yet highly profitable– Relationship managers vary from good to awful with little salary difference
• Our opportunity– Be slightly less greedy, inefficient and incompetent to succeed– Web based delivery allows us to be massively more efficient and competent– Poach best RMs for a big salary premium: hurt incumbents, help us.– Banks can’t retaliate without destroying their own profit sanctuaries
