Smarter Start Information

Smarter Start triggers your commitment to develop a business concept that attracts an enthusiastic customer base, shows you how to build safely a €100M business in 5 years that you can be proud of, and convinces you that you can do it. We often start off Smarter Start workshops by asking participants to draw on a piece of paper a sketch of what an apple sliced in half looks like. More often than not, they will draw something similar to the apple shown on the right. There is nothing wrong with that. However, if you click on the picture you will see that slicing the apple horizontally, rather than vertically, reveals something completely different. Smarter Start exists to assist you in looking at things differently, thereby ensuring that at each stage of business creation and growth you can choose the “star” option rather than the regular old way of doing things. At the core of Smarter Start is the Primary Drivers Model — a simple but powerful system that helps you understand all the different ways of slicing the apple and, more importantly, which one is likely to be most appealing to your target end-users and customers. This approach builds inherent and reserve value into your business right from the very start. This is why we call it a smarter start. By drilling down very deeply into your end-user’s lifestyle we help you find out what really drives your audience which in turn allows you to create a truly compelling value story.
