How do most companies sell today

 Buy contact lists
 Do mail shots
 From small Google ads to bill boards
 Follow up with cold calls
 Engage call centers
 Identify “readiness to buy”
 Qualify the yield
 Call and try to get an appointment
 Start a sales process
 Hope for the best


How do YOU buy today

 You ignore advertising
 You hate cold calls
 You have spam filters
 You have popup stopper
 You first check the Internet for meaningful comments
 You check forums and get interesting opinions
 You read blogs
 You discuss with peers or experts
 You explore with friends or colleagues
 When you are “ready to buy”
the decision is pretty much set in stone


Community Definition

“A community usually refers to a group of people
who interact and share certain things as a group. ...
The word community comes from the Latin communis,
meaning 'common, public, shared by all or many.'”

MAKING MONEY OUT OF COMMUNITIES
 "Community driven business (OSS business) = management of:
- Project(s)
- Communities
- Business" Ossi-project 2007

“历史的浪潮比我们做得还要快。创新者被抛在后面，
他们曾经改变的世界拿着他们的主意向着意想不到的方向跑了。”

Kim Stanley Robinson

"It is misleading to talk about Community or OSS
business models, rather one should view them as
drivers or enablers and creators of new business
opportunities and find ways of capturing value in the
opportunities they have brought about."
Mikko Puhakka 2008

Conclusions

 Your business ecosystem of customers, prospects and
partners together are far more powerful than any
individual relation to an individual person.

• The ability to create and grow trustful communities for a
better business experience, resulting in more market
acceptance and eventually market leadership.

As Tom Friedman says,
“it’s a flat new world.”

“Communities Make
Business More Fat”
