Replaceable hype-men
Don’t want to be a replaceable hype-man?
You need Evergreen Ubiquity:
Being your company’s ‘hype-man’ means:
- Waste time on checklist productivity,
- Go to market on the back-foot,
- Chase people around,
- Discount your stuff,
- Hamster wheel.Yeurgh.
But ‘Evergreen Ubiquity’ draws folks in:
- Very educational, very entertaining.
- You’re drawn in by its contribution in your life.
- You’re drawn in by the personalities you bonded with.
- You’re drawn in because it’s a small part of your identity.
- You go to it, it doesn’t chase after you.
Things you need for that:
- Know your customers way better than you do now
- Know how they love to consume content/products
- Know what they consider ‘completely un-ignorable’
- Build at the intersection of those things
- ‘Pay the price’ of it taking time to build
Which would you rather be?
Replaceable hype-man, or Evergreen ubiquity?
