Your instinct to add more is EXACTLY what makes buyers hesitate.

Not long ago I presented a Go-to-Market Roadmap to a fascinating founder.

Genuinely brilliant. Original thinker. A rare kind of builder.

And yet every question he asked pushed the messaging toward more complexity.

More angles.

More layers.

More value props stacked like geological strata.

Wherever we achieved clarity, his impulses pulled us back into ever-deeper fog.

It was a perfect live demonstration of how products bloat.

Not from malice or ego, but from some deep inner desire innovators have to give their buyer EVERYTHING.

They yearn to express the full vision, the full capability, the full cleverness of what they built.

Buyers want exactly none of that.

They want to do the damn Job.

Solve the one problem they came in with.

With the shortest possible path from their problem to a happy solution.

Anything extra, no matter how impressive, becomes friction.

Complexity looks like risk.

Layered value propositions feel like indecision.

Feature piles look like uncertainty about what actually matters.

That founder I described is far from unique. And this is not limited to novice inventors.

I see this across categories, company sizes and experience levels.

The challenge is not in doing more and showing it all, but in showing exactly the right thing.

Your product becomes stronger the moment the buyer can explain it faster than you can.
