How can you know if your digital product is going to sell? Several factors can help determine ahead of time whether your sales funnel leads to conversions… or crickets. And it’s all dependent on one critical best practice: market research. Have you asked your customers what they want? How do you know for sure that your product is positioned to solve their problem? Are you certain of what their problem is in the first place? In this episode of The Inspired Business Podcast, you’ll learn what it takes to create the right product, for the right audience, for the right reasons, in the right way.

Highlights:

• Surveys are not enough
• What is your customer’s actual problem (vs. your presumption)?

• What is the customer’s motivation for purchasing your product?
• The wrong way to sell is to try to convince somebody to buy your product. The right way is to speak to your audience using their words, not yours.
