"Vender é mais importante que produzir!"Não é de ontem, nem do ano passado, nem de há cinco anos.
.
Contudo, quando falo em vender, falo de vendas que não são feitas por vendedores, falo de vendas feitas por consultores de compras, gente que ajuda a comprar. Gente que ajuda a comprar não impinge, logo, vai procurar ter para oferecer aquilo que os potenciais clientes precisam mesmo, aquilo que é adequado à sua vida.
.
Levado à letra, chega-se a este extremo, qualquer opção obriga a fazer trade-offs, é o espaço de Minkowski.

Ontem, encontrei este texto de Rags Srinivasan, "Don't be a Product Person, be a Merchant":
"You can obsess over the product, about its velvety finish, beveled edges, etc., but if you fail to understand how and why those features add value to customers that compels them to pay a premium price for it, being a product person is pointless.
.
When you are a product person you start with features, think of your product as a bundle of features, speak about features, obsess about features, throw a tantrum when engineering wants to drop a feature because of resource constraints, use words like ‘awesome’, ‘uniquely positioned, ‘award winning, and ‘remarkable’ without explaining what that means and finally price your product as a sum of its parts.
.
When you are a merchant you start with customers, those you want as your customers over others, find out what they value and deliver it at a price that matches the value perception and at a cost that makes you a handsome profit.
.
A product person keeps iterating on what is at hand, moving along the same curve and failing to jump to another curve.
.
A merchant is laser focused on the customer and what job they are hiring the product for. They keep adding many different curves that are relevant to that customer.
.
An ultimate product person is not one who has products in their blood. The ultimate product person is really a ‘merchant‘ who understands that a product is simply a value delivery mechanism."
