What Is The Problem You Solve?

November 9, 2020 by JoshPatrick Leave a Comment

One of my favorite activities is to ask people on LinkedIn to send me their websites. I know this is a very strange activity, but stay with me. I ask them for two reasons. First, I’m curious about their business and second, I’m curious how they talk to their customers. I’m looking to see if they talk about the problems they solve for their customers or the stuff they do. You see, when you talk about the problems you solve, you’re making … [Read more...]
