Menu60 days till launch? We have been asked to demo at health datapalooza on June 2 our mhealth software, how do we prioritize our time?
Two major health segments will be there payers and health systems, how do we perfect our consumer strategy, iterate our consumer product, and prepare for a major enterprise opportunity when we have not completed enterprise discovery calls? We need 3 more payer interviews and 3 more health system interviews? Tips on getting these done quickly?
Answers
I would focus on getting the consumer MVP done. Sounds like you already have conducted some interviews for the other two segments. If that is the case, then focus on developing a story highlighting the pain points and benefits for the payers and health system based on the interviews you have conducted so far. You can be upfront with them and let them know that you are still doing customer development especially on those two segments.
Knowing how to prioritize work affects the success of your project, the engagement of your team, and your role as a leader. Even if you have the best project management software on the planet, you are the one who enters information into the tool. And you do not want to fall into the role of crying “top priority” for every other project that comes down the pike. Just as you must be diligent and have the right kind of project insight to ensure that nobody’s working on yesterday’s priorities. Check to see if there are any high-priority dependencies that rely on you finishing up a piece of work now. As a general practice, you want to recognize exactly which types of tasks have top priority over the others. If you have tasks that seem to tie for priority standing, check their estimates, and start on whichever one you think will take the most effort to complete. Know that your priorities will change, and often when you least expect them to.

Is there any typical questions for customers' pain points discovery or it's impossible to standardise?
I have built several multi-million dollar businesses using (2) very simple questions: "What makes you say that...." and "Tell me more...." No matter what someone says to you, you just keep asking one (or both) of the questions. If you do it 4 or 5 times in a row you'll learn everything you ever wanted to know.DW

We are trying to decide between a presales strategy and free/freemium app store launch for our mhealth self management app. Which should we pursue?
It really depends on whether this is ultimately a top-down or bottom-up approach and to what extent the end-user experience is compelling enough to act as a forcing function to enterprise adoption. A bottom-up distributed mobile app must be both viral and incredible engaging. Without proof that you have that (or absent proof, strong conviction) most are better off attempting to sell top-down. Happy to talk this through in a callTW

How to incentivise future distribution partners to sign non-binding Letters of Intent for a physical product not yet manufactured, 3-5 y. life cycle?
I'd avoid the cold email. The best way to get inside big companies like distributors is to "social engineer" a connection to someone there. Find a 2nd or 3rd degree connection on LinkedIn. Hang out at a restaurant near their HQ and look for people with the right badge on. Ask your potential angel for help connecting you. If they can't, they might not be the right investor for your company at this stage. Their investment should get you more than money, it should come with connections, advice and mentoring. Basically, there's no easy way to do this and every situation is different but it's going to take a lot more than a cold email or phone call.AW

What are ways to find and engage B2B beta users for a brand new application?
Find apps that are B2B and go to the review sections. Specifically going to Google's play or Chrome store and look at reviews and follow them to Google+ to engage. I took that same angle for B2C app I was building last year. Check it out. http://blendah.com/post/37331434653/lean-startup-hackTM

How do you perform solid customer development and validate an idea whilst operating in stealth?
You should be so lucky that someone will steal your idea. The truth is that its all about execution and not ideas. Facebook wasn't the first social network, they just executed better. Same for Instagram, Yammer and Airbnb - all Billion dollar companies built in public.DM
