Jozi Builder Saturday | Find the Job Customers Hire You For
CUSTOMERS DO NOT BUY PRODUCTS. THEY HIRE PROGRESS.
Customer segments may look clear on paper, but the real buying situation is still vague.
Understand the progress customers are trying to make when they choose the offer.
This Builder Room is for founders, side hustlers, self-employed people and small-business owners across every industry. Bring one live customer or revenue problem, whether people enquire but do not buy, meetings do not become contracts, customers buy once and disappear, or the business is still relying on assumptions.
A like is not demand. A compliment is not demand. Evidence is what customers say, do and pay for.
AI can speed up the work. It cannot replace the market.
WHAT WE WILL WORK ON
Use Jobs to Be Done thinking to map the situation, motivation, alternatives and desired outcome behind a real buying decision.
YOU WILL LEAVE WITH
a clear job statement
the forces driving or blocking change
a sharper customer story
a seven-day interview mission

This is a working room, not a conference, pitch night or generic sales class. We use Customer Development, Jobs to Be Done, Value Proposition Design, Lean Startup experiments and the Drievoet OS to help you make a better customer and revenue decision.
Coffee is provided on arrival. Food is not provided. You may order and pay for your own delivery.
Bring a laptop or notebook, charger, customer messages, quotations, proposals, order history or any other evidence that shows how the market is responding. No polished pitch required.
Registration is approval-based and places are limited.
BUILD THE BUSINESS. PROTECT THE BUILDER.
In the Builder Room, we work on Customers, Cashflow and Compliance. On the trail, we work on the builder: health, perspective, resilience and relationships.
