Good book on how you need to look for unmet needs and then thoroughly investigate the views of different potential customers to see what they're looking for and what features would be valuable to them. A good reminder that it's not our needs and preferences that matter, but those of the audience we're trying to connect with and serve.

This was a very good book. It gives you an opportunity and a basice framework about on how to change your perspective, thereby enabling new or fresh ideas.

Easy to read, well thought out understanding of how businesses and organizations can learn what products and services will be successful in their markets. It's not an accident that Zipcars and iPods were so successful, their creators did their homework. We all can benefit from the framework the authors lay out here. I find myself using their ideas often, which is a good sign of a book that worked for me.

This is a good way to get a bunch of Pragmatic Marketing (the product management and marketing training firm) content without attending a pricey seminar. I just wish the book were not so repetitive and glib. The content is good as is the methodology. One just wishes the book didn't read just a little too hip and too '90s dot-com-ish.
P.S. And the Coldstone Ice Cream example is already out of date.

Just finished. Solid book for all entrepreneurs, business owners on how to determine what products to build for your target markets. Brings the Pragmatic model up to the strategic level and sends strong message to business owners, BOD and money people. Highly recommend.

If you have been reading the Pragmatic Marketing website or magazine, there's no new ideas in this book. However, if you haven't kept up or have let your subscription lapse, this is a great book on how to create products or services that people will want to buy.

A pretty good read as marketing/business books go. Dry in parts - too pithy in others. Not the easiest read on earth, but well worth the time if this is your area of interest.
