Market Research: Customer Development | Tactic #1
B2B ALL COMPANIES
SHOULD DO
CUSTOMER
DEVELOPMENT.
8. P.J. Leimgruber | @misterpeej | European Innovation Academy
The biggest problem is that startups
build solutions to problems that either
don’t exist, or already being met in a
satisfactory manner.
Customer development eliminates
this risk.
Future customers will literally tell you
their problems and will be waiting to
use the solution you eventually will
build.
Market Research: Customer Development | Tactic #1
9. P.J. Leimgruber | @misterpeej | European Innovation Academy
Thank you for your time, my name is <> I work at <> we are
working on a new solution that helps companies like yours do <>.
I do not want to sell you anything but it would be great to get
your feedback now so that when our product is ready to ship, it
will best meet the needs of your company.
Before jumping into talking about us, it is ok if I ask you some
questions about you so that I can get a better understanding of
how our solution can help you?
Market Research: Customer Development | Tactic #1
10. P.J. Leimgruber | @misterpeej | European Innovation Academy
• Can you tell me a little about what you are responsible for?
• How do you measure success?
• What are your top priorities right now?
• For each priority/ job ask.....
• What is the goal
• What are the biggest challenges you have had
• Can you tell me a little bit about the last time you had this problem?
• How often does this occur
• What is the current solution
• If you could wave a magic wand how would you
fi
x it…
Market Research: Customer Development | Tactic #1
11. P.J. Leimgruber | @misterpeej | European Innovation Academy
Articulate the problem statement
be silent, wait for customer
fi
rst
reaction.
… then ask for feedback
how/if this resonates
where does it
fi
t with their overall
problems / needs?
Market Research: Customer Development | Tactic #1
12. P.J. Leimgruber | @misterpeej | European Innovation Academy
Repeat this 10-20 Times!!!
Take diligent notes.
Find out what problem is the most
common or toughest to solve.
Follow up with them and ask them
to introduce you to someone else
who can provide additional insight.
Market Research: Customer Development | Tactic #1
13. P.J. Leimgruber | @misterpeej | European Innovation Academy
Market Research: Customer Advisory Board | Tactic #2
Build a customer
advisory board!
Ask everyone you interviewed to join
your customer advisory board.
O

er them a 100% discount on the
product when it

This will lock in your

Analytics has the answer!
33. This must be
installed on
every page on
your website.
The installation
will depend on
what type of
website you
have.
Analytics & Goal Tracking | Google Analytics | Tactic #10
34. ▸ If you are using a
WORDPRESS site. Then you
can install a plugin called
“Google Analytics by Yoast”
▸ This will give you a place to
insert the tracking code.
▸ Then the plug in will do the
rest of the work.
▸ Other website builder
platforms also work like this
(Squarespace, Wix, Instapage
etc.)
▸ Boom. Done.
Analytics & Goal Tracking | Google Analytics | Tactic #10
35. ▸ If you are using a custom site
or a site built from scratch or
any site like that then have
the developer do it.
▸ But in case you want to really
be thorough in your
knowledge and show the
developer (and everyone else
in the company) who is the
boss.
▸ Then here is how to do it…
PLACE THIS CODE IN THE
<HEAD>
TAG OF THE WEBSITE
Analytics & Goal Tracking | Google Analytics | Tactic #10

It's one thing to create an epic piece of content, but it's another thing to get the most out of it through
distribution and repurposing.
Video is the best media for engagement and is something I'm working on more with companies I work for or
assist with advisory to get into. Video is king and is here to stay.
Choose a large content piece you have written, choose snippets out of it, put into a word doc as a simple script.
Let’s look at some quick easy ways to make video. Then share across YouTube, Instagram + YouTube.

How?
GOOGLE IT (Literally)
Content Marketing | Content Distribution | Tactic #19
52. P.J. Leimgruber | @misterpeej | European Innovation Academy
Here’s how: Search “Write for us” + Your
Industry/Niche + Blog or “Guest Post” + Your
Industry/ Niche + Blog!
Use “quotes” around a term, this tells Google
to look exactly for this term, in this particular
order. Parse your queries by adding a +
This will help Google better narrow down
your search and return laser focused results!

Content Marketing | Viral Marketing | Tactic #24

1.) The algorithm just wants watch
time, shares, likes, comments and
saves.
2.) People want value: Education,
Entertainment, or Inspiration.
3.) When you post the algo sends
it to a small number of For You
pages, if it performs good enough,
it moves to a larger set, and so
on…
4.) Take something your
passionate about and make
content for a week. 10K followers.

Another great way to get some
early user feedback before
pushing hard to the public is using
super targeted, low-cost ads.
Facebook, Instagram + Google
Ads are a great way to run ads to
your target audience and get
some tra
ffi
c
fl
owing in. See how
visitors engage with your website
+ what actions they do after.
Running ads also as a strategy is a
great way to build a waiting list.
Content Marketing | Social Marketing | Tactic #25
63. SET BUDGET AND
SCHEDULE
When you create your
audience, Facebook will
show you the number of
people in that audience.
This metric is called
Potential Reach.
Content Marketing | Social Marketing| Tactic #25
64. SET BUDGET AND
SCHEDULE
At the moment you set your advertising budget, Facebook
will show you the number of people you can reach within
that budget. This is your Estimated Daily Reach.
Content Marketing | Social Marketing| Tactic #25
65. SET BUDGET AND
SCHEDULE
You have two budgeting options – Daily Budget and
Lifetime Budget.
The
fi
rst option allows you to de
fi
ne the maximum amount you’ll spend per day. The second option allows you to de
fi
ne the maximum
amount you’ll spend during the lifetime of your ad.
66. SET BUDGET AND
SCHEDULE
There are two main bidding options in Facebook – Link Click (CPC) and Impression.
The better choice is CPC, because you will pay only if someone clicks on your ad, meaning
you will pay only for those users who are highly interested in your ad.
The last two options are Advert Scheduling and Delivery Type.
Advert Scheduling works only if you choose a Lifetime Budget.
The recommended Delivery Type is Standard, unless you promote a time-sensitive event
that needs to gain popularity as quickly as possible.

fi
rst few hours
so it hits the Trending Page.

have an account and previously upvoted. Also, don’t
upvote the page itself, instead
fi
nd the Startup on the
“new” list and upvote from there.
- Pro Tip: Use a certi
fi
ed “Maker” to submit your account
instead of a new account. You can
fi
