Is what you are "making" the same as what you "selling"?

HEY has been generating a lot of buzz. So what does it offer? Email? That's correct. But does it also "sell" Email?

No, HEY is selling "User privacy". So every communication from Jason Fried or DHH is about privacy, not about its features. Could someone else have made a better product? I surely think YES! But they have taken the product out of the equation because they have sold people their vision around "user privacy".

There is no point in just selling your features if that's not what your customer wants to hear.

  • Nike doesn't sell shoes, it sells aspirations.
  • L'Oreal doesn't sell cosmetic products, it sells self-respect.
  • Gillete doesn't sell razors, it sells confidence.
