Traction: A Startup Guide to Getting Customers

Most startups end in failure.

Almost every failed startup has a product. What failed startups don't have are enough customers.

Traction Book changes that. We provide startup founders and employees with the framework successful companies use to get traction. It helps you determine which marketing channel will be your key to growth.

"If you can get even a single distribution channel to work, you have a great business." -- Peter Thiel, billionare PayPal founder

The number one traction mistake founders and employees make is not dedicating as much time to  traction as they do to developing a product. This shortsighted approach has startups trying random tactics -- some ads, a blog post or two -- in an unstructured way that will likely fail.

We developed our traction framework called Bullseye with the help of the founders behind several of the biggest companies and organizations in the world like Jimmy Wales (Wikipedia), Alexis Ohanian (Reddit), Paul English (Kayak.com), Alex Pachikov (Evernote) and more. We interviewed over forty successful founders and researched countless more traction stories -- pulling out the repeatable tactics and strategies they used to get traction.

"Many entrepreneurs who build great products simply don't have a good distribution strategy." -- Mark Andreessen, venture capitalist

Traction will show you how some of the biggest internet companies have grown, and give you the same tools and framework to get traction.
