Not hitting your product adoption targets? It could be that you haven’t achieved product-market fit—something that “80% of companies never achieve.” In my experience, most companies rely on time-consuming outreach to validate their products and gather customer feedback.

We often talk about the value of Marketing. To play a strategic, indispensable role Marketing needs to be valuable. Does it seem like I’m splitting hairs? These two words may seem similar but the meaning is not. The dictionary tells us that “value” is the degree to which something is useful or estimable. Something that is valuable, on the other hand, is something that is precious and of great worth, and therefore important.
