▶ Geoffrey Moore – Video – Crossing the Chasm – Must watch for new B2B high tech companies

Early in my career I spent 5 years at Hewlett-Packard selling and marketing new high tech products back when Cisco could demand $50-100k for a switch. HP put us through a number of multi day courses from this guy and I have to tell you in the world of selling B2B and B2C high tech products there is no better model or lessons you could learn than Geoffreys concepts of “Crossing the Chasm” and “In the Tornado” and the Bowling Alley.

He explains it here and if you ever intend to sell any new high tech to a business you must watch this and read his books.
