Naval describes the venture model while suggesting a way for firms to differentiate.
We help our customers but don’t tell them exactly how. Our core product is a commodity, yet we don’t disclose pricing. Even when we do, there are substantial hidden costs. It has to be bought in bulk, more than they want. We can take months to onboard a customer. We reject most of them but don’t actually give them a straight answer. They don’t get dedicated support. They don’t get to choose or replace their representative. We don’t commit to serve them in the future. We have hundreds of competitors with the same strategy. Now where’s my check?
are you proposing a WPengine like approach?
Not sure what it has to do with WP Engine at all.
I can’t grasp your train of thought – you’re out of my bellman league, buddy – but I get the feeling you’re brilliant, Matt. Well done!
