At “Secrets of Customer Discovery (Part 2 )”, you’ll learn advanced methods to dramatically improve your odds of building products people buy and use. – Find out what real desire for a product looks like (it’s not what you’d think) – Discover the one thing you can rely on your customers to do (you can bank on this) – Learn how to not get fooled by false positives that lead to expensive business mistakes – Discover a little-recognized behavior in your customers (that might be the most important thing you can learn before building a product) This session – with all new material – builds on a foundation from David’s award-winning “Secrets of Customer Discovery (Part 1)” seminar. Ideally, attendees should have already attended “Part 1”, either at this year’s or last year’s ProductCamp. You’ll experience a fast-moving hands-on program led by an entrepreneur and product guy who has done it himself – and is dedicated to teaching you. For product managers, startup founders, marketers, and investors, in companies of all sizes. Expect an outstanding seminar. David Eckoff’s sessions have been voted “Best Session” and “Best Presenter” at recent conferences.
