ce good thing is that itll create a low cash burn rate until the company has validated
its business model by finding paying customer
The company doesnt build its non-Product Development teams (sales, marketing,
business development) until it has proof in hand (a tested sales roadmap and valid
purchase orders) that it has a business worth building
Once proof is obtained, the company can go through the last two steps of Customer
Creation and Company Building to capitalize on the opportunity it has found and
validated. The Customer Development process represents the best practices of
winning startups
Customer discovery :
The goal of Customer Discovey is just what the name implies : finding out who the
customers for your product are and whether the problem you believe you are solving
is important to them. More formally, this step involves discovering whether the
problem, product and customer hypotheses in your business plan are correct. TO do
this, you need to leave guesswork behind and get outisde the building
Learn :
- what the customer problems are
what you learn will also help shape how you will describe your unique differences to
potential customers.
The founders and product development define the product ( ecouteur bluetooth,
coque, coque energie )
Customer development team is to see whether there are customers and a market for
that vision
Customer validation :
The goal of this step is to build a repeatable sales roadmap for the sale and the
marketing teams that will follow later. The sales roadmap is the playbook of the
proven and repeatable sales process that has been field tested by succesfullly selling
the product to early customers.
Customer validation proves you have found a set of customers and a market that
react positively to the product.
If you find a group of repeatable customers ith a repeatable sales process, and then
find those customers yield a profitable business model ; then you can go to the next
step.

Let me state the purpose of Customer Discovery a little more formally. A startup
begins with a vision: a vision of a new product or service, how the product will reach
its customers, and why lots of people will buy it. But most of what a startups founders
initially believe about their market and potential customers are just educated
guesses
turning the founders initial hypotheses about their business model, market and
customers into facts. And since the facts live outside the building, the primary activity
is to get in front of customers, partners and suppliers. Only after the founders have
performed this step will they know whether they have a valid vision or just a
hallucination.
Make a list of all the features customers want before they buy your product
Hand product development a features list of the sum of all customer requests
Run focus groups and test customers reactions to your product to see if they will buy
The customer is actively searching for a solution and has a timetable for finding it
The problem is painful enough the customer has cobbled together an interim solution
The customer has committed, or can quickly acquire, budget dollars to solve the
problem
