Jobs to be Done
Your market discovery guide to unlocking business opportunities
What's in the Ebook?
When a customer is looking to purchase a product, they don’t necessarily want the product itself, but rather what the product can do for them. The German-American economist Theodore Levitt once said, “People don't want to buy a quarter-inch drill; they want a quarter-inch hole.”
We can expand this analogy by saying that customers don’t buy a drill just to make a hole. What they really want is to hang something up on their wall. A Job to be Done is just that: it is the transition that a customer is willing to undergo to get from their current situation to a better state.
Jobs to be Done get at the root of the equation. They understand the ultimate goal of the customer and allow researchers to ask the right questions to the right people to get the right answers.
