I tried to compete on price instead of building a brand. Maybe you should sell packages of smart home tech for any price range? If you try to compete on price with Amazon or other giants, you will lose. Set up interviews. I didn’t take the time to find out what my customers wanted. I didn’t validate my ideas.

When we meet or speak (with those who are not local) to prospective clients I admit we actually interview them, mainly to see if they are a fit with us, our way of working and our existing clients. i got a used truck for $5000 which a relative bought for me as a gift so no payback there either. my cost is for gas and product now only!

They are very responsive to our questions and concerns, 2-3 times a day we hear back on pricing, information, etc that we’ve asked for so that we can all show up to the pivotal meeting to hash out final details. If we weren’t so good at planning, securing bids, and exploring all options and pricing, we could have been really left in a bind.

Got hired after a job interview? If you try to serve everyone you’ll get killed by larger competitors offering a generic product for a price you can’t beat. Stop knocking off product ideas and stop trying to adjust your prices on Amazon by cents to weasel a few more bucks out of customers who will never even know your company’s name.
