Office Hours: Schedule Time To Walk Around Your MVP

Looking for advice on lead generation or closing deals?  Consider scheduling “office hours” to walk around your current sales process or a particular opportunity you are trying to close.

SKMurphy functions as a startup advisor to help you understand the process of building a business. We understand the challenges of selecting an advisor–and advising entrepreneurs–and have blogged about it a few times:

• “Seeing The Elephant: The Entrepreneur’s Challenge of Integrating Advice” To “see the elephant” entrepreneurs must work toward a holistic perspective by integrating advice and conflicting views from a variety of sources.
• “The Challenge of Advising Entrepreneurs” The key challenge in advising entrepreneurs is to help them walk around the options and explore the consequences of each decision.
• “Advising Entrepreneurs” I spend a fair amount of time advising entrepreneurs, both informally when solicited and formally when I have been retained–and sometimes even when I have not been asked for advice. Here are some key principles I follow.
• “We Don’t Encourage Individuals to Form a Startup” Real entrepreneurs don’t need encouragement to form a startup–although they may benefit from outside perspectives on their plans. Encouraging non-entrepreneurs to form a startup does them a disservice.
• “Doing Less with Less” Startups survive because they can live on the scraps of a market (a niche) that larger competitors ignore or would be unable to pursue profitably. This is doing less with less.

We offer a no-cost, no-obligation MVP Readiness Assessment.
