I was in New York last week with my class at Columbia University and several events made me realize that the Customer Development model needs to better describe its fit with web-based businesses. Luckily Eric Ries was spending a few days in New York, so we sat down in the middle of Times Square and hashed this out.

John has rightly observed that many small companies, as well as foreign companies trying to get into the United States, have limited budget, and could use 25% of the time of a sales rep in each geography, say, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Seattle. I like the idea, and recognize the problem.

By all accounts, the Utah-HQ’d company did everything the right way, was an overnight success 16 years in the making, and only raised venture capital as a growth company after years of bootstrapping. In fact, it feels like old news, even a year after a this New York Times feature on the region.

Unfortunately, in that job, you need to be able to lay out a strategy across all these verticals, and build a machine that makes it work--not to mention rolling up your sleeves a little bit in each area to get the flywheel going before you turn it over to a junior team that you hire.
