I was kinda 50/50 on Thiel’s view here - plenty of people become successful reexecuting current ideas in a more efficient way / different angle. Are you able to expand on your own examples you refer to?

Molson Hart @Molson_HartReplying to @postnomadicThis is going to be underwhelming, so sorry in advance for that: 1. We launched a bunch of products that were completely new to the United States and paired them with good branding. 2. Toy biz is. Every good business starts out as novel. The idea was "factory to Amazon".1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Sometimes there’s new efficiencies that can arise thru technological advancements eg desktop to cloud in software - same services, different fabric. Sometimes there’s new geographical markets to explore which provide more demand / less competition than ur domestic ones

I’m learning that rather than over critiquing your product, maybe invest more time assessing whether you’re fishing in the right sales channels

While cloud may look crowded now, I would argue that Dropbox (personal cloud) and AWS (b2b cloud) were competition-less when they got started. I feel like what you're saying and what Thiel's saying are pretty close.

Like a book you can read to be better at sales? Sorry for the questions, just want to make sure I get this right.

Yeah but in a more practical manner - almost like a guide on how to crack the US as a foreign seller e.g., effective sales channels, networks, guide to hiring a US based sales team, which areas to focus on. A lot of mystery in UK about this with a lot of burnt fingers.

Sorry I don't know. Basically what has worked for me was: 1. Call and e-mail tons of people 2. Polite persistence 3. Keep iterating on your approach and product until you get something that works 4. Keep everything FUCKING SIMPLE for your customers
