Jobs to be Done vs. Market Problems Feb 16, 2017

Show notes

In this episode, we’re doing something a little different. We’re going to listen in on a conversation between Neil Baron of Barron Strategic Partners and Bob Moesta co-creator of the jobs-to-be-done theory. They chat about what “jobs-to-be-done” means and how it relates to “market problems” that we talk so much about here at Pragmatic Marketing. And since together they’ve literally worked on thousands of products, they are going to share some tips and best practices along the way. Listen in.
And as always, if you have a topic you’d like to hear us tackle in an episode of Pragmatic Live, send us a note at experts@pragmaticmarketing.com.
