Original Summary

This sounds wrong, but I’ve seen a weird pattern with products: You launch with a very specific customer in mind. Then someone completely outside that profile starts using it in a way you never expected. And sometimes… they’re the ones who love it the most. I think people overdo customer personas. “We’re building for 25-35 year old founders who need X.” Cool. But your product doesn’t care about your persona. The problem cares. Two completely different people can have the exact same painful problem. And one of them might be 10x more willing to pay to make it disappear. So I’ve started paying attention to something different: Not “Who is our ideal customer?” But: “Who has the most expensive version of this problem?” That’s a much more interesting question. A freelancer losing 3 hours a week might complain about your product. A company losing €20k a month because of the exact same problem might happily pay you €2k/month to fix it. Same problem. Completely different business. Sometimes you don’t need to find a better product. You need to find the people for whom the problem hurts the most.   submitted by   /u/eddy836 [link]   [comments]

中文标题： 你最好的客户常常不是你最初为其打造产品的人

作者观察到一个反直觉模式：产品按特定客户画像推出，却常有画像外用户以意外方式使用并最喜欢它。认为人们过度强调客户画像，产品不关心画像，问题才关心；不同人可能有同样痛点，其中有人更愿付费。建议别只问理想客户是谁，而问谁承受这个问题的代价最高；同一问题对不同对象商业价值不同，有时不必找更好产品，而要找到痛点最重的人。
