• Hint: "Because I said so," is not a valid answer.
• Why does it work this way?
• Why is that our goal?
• Why did you say no?
• Why are we treating people differently?
• Why is this our policy?
• Why are we having this meeting?
• Why not?
The 5 Whys:
just keep asking
"Why?" until you
get to the true
cause of a
particular
situation or
problem.

It's a method of exchange, a unit we exchange for something we actually need or value. It has
worth because we agree it has worth, because we agree what it can be exchanged for.
But there's something far more powerful going on here.
We don't actually agree, because each person's valuation of money is based on the stories we tell
ourselves about it.
Our bank balance is merely a number, bits represented on a screen, but it's also a signal and
symptom. We tell ourselves a story about how we got that money, what it says about us, what
we're going to do with it and how other people judge us. We tell ourselves a story about how that
might grow, and more vividly, how that money might disappear or shrink or be taken away.
And those stories, those very powerful unstated stories, impact the narrative of just about
everything else we do.
So yes, there's money. But before there's money, there's a story.
It turns out that once you change the story, the money changes too.
Money isn't real …

“Your focus determines your world”
Facts rule!
• The one with the most facts wins the argument!
• Tech specs are some of the most impressive facts ever.
• These features are so neat that you should buy the product just to get them.
Value sells!
• With this product/feature your company will gain (the ability to…)
• You can achieve higher productivity by utilizing ……
• You can reduce time, effort and possible errors by…..
But my Pains and priorities are….
• My only focus at this moment is…
• So important I won´t consider your offering right now…
• The only things I care about, or I will loose my job…

Why hasn't the whole cell phone industry exploded?
Not the "use a portable phone to call people" market. That market is doing great, everyone knows
how to use a phone and a cell phone is just a better solution to that problem for a lot of uses.
The entire "data in my pocket" or "fundamentally different kind of interaction" business.
For years, everyone has been talking about the coming goldmine in mobile.
We've been trying to solve the wrong problem.
Take a look at virtually every giant online success (except for Amazon) and none of them were
obvious in 1992.
I think we're going to discover a whole new universe of cell phone services that people want to pay
for, things that we won't be able to live without. Like... ringtones.
Mobile doesn't have a problem. We (the marketers and the entrepreneurs) do.

Editor's Notes

  1. The Standish Group conducted a recent study that ranks the usage factor of features across the average enterprise software system. Their findings show that on average only 7 percent of an enterprise application features are “always” used, 13 percent of the features are “often” used and 16 percent are used “occasionally.” That leaves 64 percent of the features in an average enterprise application as either “rarely” or “never” used. So why do organizations spend good money developing, purchasing and maintaining large, complex applications when they only really need half of what they are paying for?
