Reminds me of Rob Fitzpatrick's customer development talks: ask a potential customer if they would buy your product and they're all positive yes, definitely. Go, ok, lets do it, whip out a credit card machine and listen to all the excuses they come up with why they can't do it right now.
- JoeAltmaier 5y agoA credit card machine! I remember those - you secure the card under a clip, put carbon paper form on top, run a little roller on a track across... I can still hear the sound it made in my head, would recognize it instantly if I heard it across a room. Nostalgia.
- dkersten 5y agoI actually was thinking of one of those little devices that talks to your phone over bluetooth when I wrote that, but I actually remember the carbon paper ones too! Used to use one when I worked as a street trader (jewelery stall in a touristy part of town) as a student.
