Hi all,
By day I work in tech - I’m a data analyst. By night I am working with my dad to set up a company selling luxury furniture items. I know this community is mainly SaaS and I think it’s a really dope community. Im hoping this community might be able to help: my question is this: I am trying to sell chopping boards and knife blocks. How do I do discovery? We have beaut products, but I have learnt that when trying to sell, you need to understand your customers problems. In the broad world of luxury, people don’t have problems… Or at least that’s what I think, maybe I am missing something. I am not and never have been a salesman, but it is crucial to what I am trying to achieve with my dad, so fuck it I am going to do it. Where I am getting a bit stuck is this conflict as described above. I can relate to a process where you engage a potential customer, find out about their company, their problems, and then frame your product in the context of their problem to make the sale. But with luxury, there is no problem. So what is the strategy in this case?
Again, understand this community is SaaS and so doesn’t deal a lot with luxury, but I bet a few of you have been in this world and can help me out :)
