Kyle GrieveEvidence Quote
“Abner says and I agree that you can learn just an inordinate amount about a business from understanding its customers at a very deep level so he poses just four kind of questions to better understand a business by talking to its customers so the first one is who are the customers the second one is what exactly is being purchased the third is what is actually being sold and the fourth is why would the customer buy from the business in question versus a competitor”
