[0:01] you're wrong about this and I said why
[0:04] what am I wrong about and he said I
[0:05] think you've misunderstood the problem
[0:07] so the problem actually has nothing to
[0:09] do with the product or the buying
[0:11] experience or anything the problem is
[0:13] the name the problem is is that the name
[0:16] of the product and I said what does that

[0:53] it turned out he was totally right so
[0:55] they they rename the product to True
[0:56] view so the the value proposition is you
[0:59] only pay for True views from the sales
[1:02] team perspective this went from being
[1:03] the product that the sales team didn't
[1:05] ever want to talk about to the number
[1:07] one most requested topic for the sales
[1:09] conference the following year the
[1:11] product went from Z to a billion dollars
[1:12] in about 18 months it was one of like
