THE IDEA, IN PLAIN LANGUAGE

Identify who has the problem, where they look for help and how they decide. Customer conversations reveal language, priorities and objections. Ask about real past behavior rather than only whether an idea sounds good.

KEY VOCABULARY

Target customer
A defined group whose problem you aim to solve.

A PRACTICAL EXAMPLE

Ask a local shop how it currently creates promotional videos, what takes the most time and what it has paid for help before.

A COMMON MISTAKE

Trying to sell to everyone or treating compliments as orders.

WHAT TO REMEMBER

A specific audience makes outreach and learning clearer.
