Giving Value vs Solving a Problem, with Louis Nicholls

Touching a lot upon what it means to give value to our customers instead of focusing on a pain/solution.

Show Notes

This show was an elaboration of a discussion/argument we had with Louis a few weeks ago on Twitter. You can find the entire tweet here: https://twitter.com/valsopi/status/1267489835863998472

Some questions we try to answer are:

• The difference between idea/execution
• What it means to give value
• What is Marketing vs Sales (a sort of new take, at least for me)

You can find out more about Louis in the following places

• His salesforfounders.com Course
• Twitter account https://twitter.com/louisnicholls_
• And podcast: https://pod.salesforfounders.com/

We also had two questions from listeners

What is Bootstrapping Saas?

Bootstrapping Saas is a podcast where I document my attempts at getting to $10K in MRR with my Saas products as a one man show (designer, developer, marketer). I cover things like sales strategies, failed attempts, successful outcomes, lessons, and a few personal things here and there.

Once in a while I bring in a guest where we talk

The show is roughly prepared with bullet points, but mostly a free rain of thoughts with whatever is going on that week.

The first 40 episodes have been mostly about Claritask, starting with Episode 41 I cover more attempts, ideas, findings, and other potential products.
