Your customers are the greatest resource for improving the marketing efforts for your product.

While having a well designed and developed product are extremely important in creating something that offers value to someone, if you can’t effectively communicate how it helps your customers you will have a hard time selling it. Confusing customers with the wrong message is a common problem that many startups face. We saw this problem as an opportunity to help the startup community learn more about their product, how to speak a language that customers actually understand and connect with, and how to take action with tools they need to succeed.

Quote: The more you understand who your customer is and how they talk about your product, the more clearly you can connect with them."

I’m really excited to share this free guide with all of you because it can potentially have a powerful impact on almost every aspect of your business. I am so proud of our team for making this guide happen. All the writing, editing, feedback, designs, and so much more. And this is only the beginning of what Headway wants to do for the startup community.
