Questions You Should Ask Yourself Who is my target client? Who is my competition? What features should I offer? How should I package and price my
product?
![Page 16: Playbook for hosted services webinar slides](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062820/589caf9d1a28abbe4a8b5895/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Who is Your Target Client?Build your business model around the people you will be serving.
Tip: Customize your offering to serve vertical markets.
Geography? User count? Type of business? Special features (call center, multisite, etc.)
![Page 17: Playbook for hosted services webinar slides](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062820/589caf9d1a28abbe4a8b5895/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Who is your Competition?Differentiate yourself from the competition to get a leg up.
Know thy enemy Learn their packages and features Identify their weaknesses Drive a wedge
![Page 18: Playbook for hosted services webinar slides](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062820/589caf9d1a28abbe4a8b5895/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What Features Should You Offer?
Decide if you want to be highly tailored and high touch or off the shelf and low touch
Run through each feature you want to offer, test it with each line of devices you offer
