About this episode

Do you have a great product that people need, but for some reason people aren’t buying it? This is a common problem when you’re just starting out or launching a new product. When customers are confused about the problem your product solves or it sounds too complicated to buy or use, they won’t be motivated to pull out their wallets and buy.

 

In today’s coaching conversation, Donald Miller talks with Tyler Robertson, Founder and CEO of Diesel Laptops, a company providing much-needed resources for repairing complex semi-truck engines. With nationwide supply chain issues and the need to get trucks back on the road quickly, why aren’t Tyler’s newest products selling like crazy? Listen in to see what Tyler needs to do differently so you can apply these strategies in your business!
