I read a good book, actually listened to a good book, this week… the $100 dollar startup by Chris Guillebeau
A key premise to “profitability” was an anecdote; show a man how to fish and lose the sale. The illustration went like this (pardon the ideological theft) …You go to a nice restaurant and order the fish, settle in, get comfortable and wait. Soon-after the chef comes from the kitchen and says: “OK, want to help me cook this fish?”
You wouldn’t be pleased, would you? You are paying for a different experience, an opportunity to unwind, relax and feel comfortable in the knowledge that you are paying a premium for service and quality.
Something similar is presented by Walter Issacson in the biography of Steve Jobs; “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication – the apple mantra.” The less the customer has to do, the better.
OK,…the point! I want the BeBee experience to be good, but I’m someone who would be happy to go to the kitchen and watch the chef cook. A tinkerer, an amateur, someone who wants to know whats under the hood. Most people aren’t, it seems. So, with that that in mind prepare to learn how to fish…
Prologue: I started working on Virtual Tours as the UK coordinator for the Google Maps Business View program. After about two days I figured that (if done right) this had to be “the next big thing…”

Here’s the fish presented on different fine crockery;
