  SFS Minute 1085: Your Customer Doesn't Care About You

  Oct 5, 20262 min

  I hope you have seen the lesson from this week that you and your customers think about different things. You're excited about the new colors that you're offering, the new horsepower improvement, and the new gauge that you've introduced into the system, and the customer is excited because it fits into the slot right. You and your customer are not on the same wavelength, and your job is to get on the same wavelength, but there are a lot of things that you and the customer just think differently about. One more thing the customer doesn't care about is you. I know that sounds really mean, but your customers don't care about you, not at first. Maybe eventually, maybe they'll learn to share your dream or realize that you have a really, really great purpose, but until that happens, you can't expect them to care about it the same way you do.

  SFS Minute 1084: Your Customer Doesn't Care About Your Business Plan

  Oct 5, 20262 min

  Welcome to the School for Startups Minute with Jim Beach. Five things your customer doesn't care about has been the topic this week, and I think we've been having some fun pointing out some of the silly things that customers really don't care about. And number one, really, on the list is your technology. No one cares how many horsepower you have. They just want to know if the car looks good and if it has fancy leather interiors. That's the thing that they're going to judge it by. I'll share another one of the things that customers just don't care about right after this. I go to lots of chamber events and entrepreneurship events, and you will see people there over time who, for the last 6 years or year, have been working on their business plan. People, don't spend more than a weekend on your business plan. Go out there and sell stuff. Customers don't care how long your business plan takes to write. I do, but your customer doesn't.

  SFS Minute 1083: Your Customer Doesn't Care About Your Technology

  Oct 5, 20262 min

  This week, we are having fun talking about things that your customer just doesn't care about. We've already talked about your logo and your slogan and your company colors, and we've talked about how hard you work. Do the customers care about any of that stuff? It's just not something that they buy based upon. I'll share another one of those things with you right after this. Your customer doesn't care about your technology either. Our revolutionary, proprietary, AI-enabled, cloud-based algorithm uses advanced machine learning. Stop. Your customer's already fallen asleep. I have fallen asleep. Don't tell me about the technology. Tell me what it does. We really don't care how many horsepower the car has. We just want to know if it's gonna give us more dates or not, right?

  SFS Minute 1082: Your Customer Doesn't Care How Hard You Worked

  Oct 5, 20262 min

  When you're starting a business, there are things that you're just so proud of. You spent so much time on it, and then all of a sudden, you had a light bulb moment in the middle of the night and wrote it down, and it's been working ever since, and you're so proud of it. Well, your customer doesn't care. And as a matter of fact, your love of it may actually scare some of them away. This week, we were talking about this. Five things that your customer doesn't care about. I'll share another one right after this. When a company says, "We've been working on this technology for five years," does it impress you? Does it make you care or want the technology more? Maybe they should have done it in only 4 years, and that's why it was so expensive. Another thing customers don't care about is how hard you worked. Don't tell me how many hours you put in on it. I don't care. I just want a good product.

  SFS Minute 1081: Your Customer Doesn't Care About Your Logo

  Oct 5, 20262 min

  This week, I want to talk about a topic that's a little bit different. Things that your customer doesn't care about. That's right. You may care a lot about them, and they may be really important to you, the entrepreneur, and you may have spent hours on them. But unfortunately, your customer just doesn't care. I'll be back with the 1st thing right after this. One thing that your customer doesn't care about is your logo. They are already there. They're already validating your business with their money. There's nothing more that they can do to validate you. The logo doesn't matter, and I know you care about it, and you wear it on your shirt proudly, and you're so proud of it because you did it yourself. Change it later, but don't fall in love with the logo because no one else is in love with it.
