8 years ago or so, I was helping an client build out a new business unit. Their first step – add a checkbox to their ecommerce checkout process. Their question to me: “Where do we put the checkbox?”
The entirety of this new business and the aspirations of the entire team – rolled up into a single checkbox with a 5-word label.
I’m still taken aback by the simplicity of the effort.
Minimum. Viable. Product.
Fast forward to a month ago, where Dan and I are discussing social networks and message triage over lunch.
To test of my assumptions on the ideas we explored, I added single line of text to my email signature.
Just 3 words actually.
The results have been good enough to warrant some additional work.
Maybe I’ll add 2 more words.
After your response to my recent e-mail I took a couple minutes to catch up on all-things-Garrick here… and, looking back on your note, I think I know exactly what phrase you’re talking about in this post. If I’m right, it’s a wicked-cool idea and I’m curious how two extra words could possibly make it better?
