Making it Stick: Planning Your Elevator Pitch
Introducing Moore’s Chasm
• Innovator:These people are using the technology for the love of the challenge. It does not matter that there are some problems that’s all part of the fun to these “techies”.
•Early adopter: A more serious user of the product who sees the product for what it will bring, not for the technical challenge; these are the business “visionaries”. This is the brink of the chasm, get to the next segment and you are a proven market leader.
• Early majority:If the product gets this far it has serious prospects of success. The toughest chasm is behind you. These are loyal “pragmatists” but they need peer review, references and support before they will pay a premium price for the product.
•Late majority:These “conservatives” represent approximately one third of the market they extend the product’s life when it is no longer state-of-the-art.
•
Laggard:Sceptics, these are the people who will only adopt when they need to.
It can be seen that there are many chasms between the groups but the largest is between the early adopter and the early majority.
How to bridge the chasm – D Day
• You want to get into mainstream (Europe)
• Currently dominated by ‘competitor’ (Axis)
• Invasion of other ‘products’ needed (Allies)
• Transition from early market base (England)
• Strategic target market segment in the mainstream (Normandy beaches)
• Separating you from your goal is the chasm (English Channel)
• You need to cross the chasm ( D Day)
• Force competitor out of targetted niche market ( secure beach)
• Take over additional market segments (France)
• Overall market domination (Free Europe)
Target the first area to engage with
1. Divide up the universe of possible customers into market segments2. Evaluate each segment for its attractiveness3. Narrow targets down to a very small number4. Pick one and go after it
