Everyone in the business world has heard of the classic bestseller by Geoffrey A. Moore titled “ Crossing the Chasm ,” but most entrepreneurs have no idea how it relates to them. In fact, it’s all about the “focus” required to get early stage technology products across the deadly chasm from early adopters to mainstream customers. Most investors and startup professionals expand this concept of focus to apply to key issues of every aspect of strategic and tactical planning in a startup.

I know entrepreneurs who have suffered from premature execution often associated with the ready-fire-aim quick-to-market approach. Yet I believe that many more have benefited from this approach, especially in early startup stages.

Rob Sobers said about the marketing growth strategy, “It’s not about tactics—it’s about people and process.”. And when it comes to people, you need buy-in from all over the organization. Growth is everyone’s business. When it comes to process, growth marketers must learn to fail. And fail fast. A marketing growth strategy is about small and incremental wins that build up over time.

When you’re in the early stages of your startup, it can be difficult to find funds or validate spending money on marketing and advertising or to even find the time to plan out your organic marketing strategies. Too many choices are sometimes disorienting and leave one undecided without the help of a guide. As a workaround, small business owners and early-stage entrepreneurs have found scrappy and creative ways to build brand reputations and acquire new users organically.

Groove’s customer service platform almost died in the introductory stage because they forgot to listen to their customers. They drew people in with a product they assumed would be a hit and pushed forward without taking in customer feedback. The result? People had a terrible experience using their product. After turning their attention toward feedback and testing, letting the voice of their customers fuel their content strategy and product development, they took off.

Taking out payday loans has become increasingly popular. If a borrower takes out a loan for a short period, he or she is committed to paying off the loan by the next payday. That’s called a payday loan.
