This paper takes a product-focused deep-dive into the reasons businesses have been slow to embrace IoT, and includes step-by-step solutions for product folks challenged with overcoming IoT obstacles and boosting sales.
The paper explores the product lifecycle and shares an ‘outside-in’ approach that can alleviate customer concerns and what Henry Ford can teach you about horses (and what that has to do with selling technology).
In this paper you will learn:
- The top 3 reasons customers are not buying IoT products
- 5 steps for product managers to boost sales
- What 85% of buyers say is the reason they do not buy IoT
- How high profile hacks like Verkada amplify the problem
