Working with Passion

Eliot is passionate in working with people who would get in the game.
Identifying the Best Customer
Eliot shares that a lot of people get so consumed with their situation. They don’t see the world through the eyes of their best customer, and don’t often stop to identify who their best customer is. Instead, they focus on their own solutions in going about the business.
“I see so many people come into my conference room in love with their idea but haven’t brought to life who their best client is.” –Eliot Wagonheim
Your best customer can be anyone that gives you the best quality of life. With this, Eliot emphasizes the importance of identifying your best customer. Identify their primary problem to which you are providing the solution.
Selling the Right Solution
Imagine that you want to put up shelves and cabinets in your garage. For this, you go out in search for the drill you need. You can go down the entire aisle and find many different kinds of drills with many different features.
“People don’t buy drills; they buy holes.” –Eliot Wagonheim
You see, you didn’t go out looking for a drill. What you are really looking for is the hole in your masonry in the garage that you can use to put up your shelves or cabinets. In retrospect, Eliot discusses that people aren’t buying the drill, however, so many businesses spend time selling it.
