Leaders Perception Magazine is currently running an interview series called – What Are The Top 5 Mistakes People Make When Starting A New Business?
Today, we had the opportunity to interview George Harrison who is a Marketing Director at pkg maker.
Interviewee Name: George Harrison
Company: pkg maker
George Harrison’s favourite quote: Not having a specific focus for your marketing efforts.
One frequent mistake startups make is not devoting enough time to understanding their target market or customers. For tech-savvy founders, it can seem easier to write code than hold conversations with customers, but there’s no way of knowing if you’re on the right track unless you’re constantly collecting feedback from current and potential clients. Keep in mind that just because a product is great does not mean the company will be successful. Oftentimes companies discover they are catering to a demographic that’s much too small to generate significant profit from.
