Prelaunch – Launch Your Product With Confidence!
3 Value Bombs
1) Each customer thinks and behaves differently. When the data is out there, you can move forward confidently and increase your chances a lot.
2) The common reason products fail is because of a lack of market demand. It is hard for creators to predict which products will fly, and which ones won’t.
3) Pre-launch your product or idea as soon as possible; don’t rely on what your consumers are saying, but what they are doing.

Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How Pre-Launching can Help You Validate Demand and Save Resources with Narek Vardanyan
[1:17] – Narek shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- You can be wrong a lot. You’ll experience your gut feelings and your genius ideas in the shower, but it’s nothing if you don’t have reliable data that you can trust
[2:13] – The reason why 80% of product launches fail.
- The common reason products fail is lack of market demand. It is hard for creators to predict which products will fly, and which ones won’t.
- When creators pass through ideation, design, prototyping, and production, and then launch it into market, by the time they meet their consumers they’ve already spent a significant amount of time and money.
[3:28] – What do the 20% of successful product launches do differently?
- Pre-launch your product or idea as soon as possible; don’t rely on what your consumers are saying, but what they are doing.
[4:41] – Meeting actual customers before you launch.
- Recreate and imitate this real life procedure and create a website, as simple as the real website, and start testing it with real customers.
[7:07] – Validating the idea and the customer’s willingness to pay.
- There are two types of fallacies. False negatives and false positives.
