Conclusion
Conclusion
Building the knowledge base (Thanks)
Lean B2B would not have been possible without the generous contribution of more than 30 entrepreneurs from Austin, Boston, Montreal, New York, Quebec City, Seattle, Silicon Valley and Toronto.
These successful entrepreneurs took time out of their busy schedules to share stories and insights to help the science of entrepreneurship evolve. For that, I am very grateful.
These CEOs, CTOs and COOs have found success with B2B startups like WePay, Optimizely, Bluestreak Technologies, PunchTab, WP Engine, Vontu, Nstein Technologies, CakeMail, iPerceptions, WhatsNexx, Wistia, Get Satisfaction and many more.
Any of these entrepreneurs with their vision, experiences and insights could have written this book, but it is my opinion that the true value of Lean B2B lies in the variety of perspectives and experiences.
There is no single way to complete the tasks laid out in this book; there are as many ways to cut the cake as there are types of entrepreneurs. Its important to find the approach that best matches your style.
This book contains excerpts from all interviews. My hope is that the insights shared by these entrepreneurs will be as valuable to you as they have been to me.
If I am successful, the knowledge in Lean B2B will not stay inside the book. The science of entrepreneurship evolves quickly, and it is my hope that the community (leanb2bbook.com/community) will be a driving force of fresh B2B customer development ideas.
Join the community to receive updates as new ideas are made available.
Thank you for reading.
To my parents,
for never putting any limits on my potential .

Introduction
Introduction
WHEN DAVID MET GOLIATH
It was a warm day in the valley. David was sitting in his brand new BMW sweating.
Impressed by the vision of the CEO, David had recently decided to leave a comfortable sales job to join a promising tech startup. The company had a great team, amazing technology and strong leadership, but their product was another six months from launch and the company was running out of money.
The companys CEO, Saul, had made David a partner to convince the star salesperson to jump ship. With three young children at home and an expensive new car to pay for, David had, of late, been wondering if hed made the right decision.
Saul, an experienced salesperson himself, was organizing the vast majority of the client meetings. Davids responsibility was to close the deals.
Today, Davids mission was to sell an unfinished product with an unproven technology to the CEO of the largest pharmaceutical company in the valley. The whole team depended on him for survival.
Selling technology to pharmaceutical executives was nothing new for David; he had just never done it with this little to show. He would have to be very convincing.
As David walked in the executives office, he was taken back to the comfortable life he had left behind. Keeping his job would have been the easiest thing to do, but at 42, it was time for him to give entrepreneurship a try.
The CEO was sitting behind his desk looking at his phone. As David got in, he barely acknowledged his presence.
Taking a quick look at David, the executive signaled him to begin. It was going to be a rough meeting.. .
David was on top of his game. He gave the pitch that he and Saul had been preparing for the last two weeks. By the end of the presentation, the CEO hadnt moved an inch.
To Davids surprise, he came swinging with questions on expected return on investment, data ownership, implementation and switching costs, guarantees and cost structure the CEO clearly had something in mind.
