◆ 01: What does my item do and who will buy the item?

ByMarco Bellucci

◆ 02: Why do people who buy their items buy that item?

ByPressReleaseFinder

If I could answer clearly to the question "01" or "02", I will ask if there is any evidence. In short, it is whether or not you have "evidence" of "what customers buy their products for," obtained as feedback by Twitter or e-mail. There is no problem without evidence, but in that case, you can say that you should collect evidence and falsifications that support your ideas. If you can not answer, you should strive for marketing, including incorporating the feedback mechanism on your home page.

◆ 03: What is the most disturbing sales?

ByKenteegardin

This means that "people do not know the existence of goods" or "the price is too high". For example, in the case of an engineer, the question "Why does not the customer increase?" Appears first, "The function is more necessary" answers. If a potential customer had commented "If you are going to purchase this," then you may think that you can increase customers by satisfying that request. However, it is impossible to increase sales by a factor of 100, just because it meets the needs of only one customer. For 100 people who do not purchase software even if they are downloaded, is the problem in function? Is there a "function" solution for hundreds of thousands of people who have never been to your homepage or those who visited the website or returned immediately soon? When asking this question to yourself, the conclusion will come to nature and "what you can do right away." But please do not crawl on a simple answer.

◆ 04: What can you do to get feedback from current customers, potential customers, etc.?

ByNicadlr

External feedback is the only way to make products based on experience. Perhaps we can not incorporate all of the feedback, but gathering information is very important. If further feedback is needed to get an idea,Discover what's blocking sales with less than a day of work(11 ways to find things that will interfere with your earnings within one day) "will be helpful.

◆ 05: When will my future income be zero, when will it run out of money?

ByPhoney Nickle

The purpose of this question is to clarify monthly expenses and accounts payable first. Also, if you are unable to attract customers or suffer sudden bad luck, you will know how long you can continue the project. And most of all, this question will help you when you are trying to take risky and risky things. It may sound wonderful, but knowing "the day when my business ends" allows me to concentrate on activities to increase my income.

◆ 06: How do you spend money to maximize future profits as you get $ 100,000 today (about 9.5 million yen)?

ByLouish Pixel

This question embodies that "Where will it cost to help your business?" There are things that cost less for marketing and development, but sometimes it is true that there is sometimes "paying for money." In some cases it may be overwhelming to make debts, but generally the best way is to do business with minimal debt or investment.

◆ 07: If you have to hire someone today, how do you define a job that matches your salary for an employee?

ByMarc 0047

I can not afford to hire anyone for you, nobody can work like you, nor have I thought of hiring a person. That's OK. The point of this question is not there, I will clarify what the task you are interrupting and what is the reason. If you do not have the image to hire full-time employees who can work for salary, there is no problem. But this question reminds me of one or two jobs that I should not do. Of course you do not have to hire an employee in fact, but you should give priority to these tasks in the next month.

◆ 08: Which part do you dislike most among the company management?

By~ FreeBirD® ~

This question is useful for tackling the weak points. After clarifying that we are not good, it is one way to do that task in the following way.

· If you shut down all of Twitter, e-mail and phone and start the task, it may be possible to finish in 15 minutes.

· It is also possible to delegate to the outside if it is a common task. If you are taking time to trivial thingsVirtual assistantThere are also employers to hire.

· Please check if there are services that can be requested with a small payment, such as bookkeeping by an accountant.

· Consider the idea of ​​a consultant or an intern, taking into account the income you lose while you are taking time on tasks before saying that the cost is too big.

· Can you share the burden with co-founder or employee? You should be able to exchange work with someone who is not good at that task.

◆ 09: What did you not get enough results because you held the initiative and ended without being convinced?

ByThorinside

This is very unpleasant, but it is also an important question for those with two properties, perfectionists and control freaks. It is very important to know what kind of features the product is, how to contact customers with customers to find reasons and ways why customers pay money for the products It is important. But, in fact, your "list of things to do" is too long and you are involved in extra battle. The contact page on the website can be any look and blog posts need not be artistic. Google ads also need to test a variety of things, but do not spend hours, so do not try to make everything perfect yourself. Just because you feel insufficient himself does not mean you can not earn enough income. Please leave it to people.

◆ 10: If you were able to speak for an hour to become the most respected person, what would you set as the goal of the discussion and talk about what?

By@ Ifma.

Thinking this question leads you to a solution to the problem. For example, I read books and blogs of respect I respect, not only obey their advice, but also immerse themselves in their way of thinking. Or ask an advice by e-mailing, or find a person who respects that person and seems to be easy to contact.
