BusinessSmall businesses waste money when they confuse activity with outcomes. Posting every day or collecting many contacts is not enough if the business cannot explain who buys and what serving them costs.

BusinessMarketing and sales can be organized over four weeks without complicated software. The first goal is to understand the problem solved and build a minimum reliable customer response process.
BusinessMarket research does not require an expensive report prepared by a large company. For small businesses, it begins with specific questions about customers, existing alternatives and demonstrated willingness to pay.
