I went straight to CRM-adjacent ideas and kind of anchored myself there too fast.
Start by clarifying the goal and scope, then segment the automotive sales process to identify key pain points where a product can add value. Propose a prioritized solution with clear features, and outline how you would measure success and bring it to market, emphasizing Amazon's strengths.
Pro tip: Anchor your solution in Amazon's leadership principles, such as Customer Obsession and Invent and Simplify, and show how it leverages Amazon's assets like AWS, AI/ML, or the Amazon marketplace to create a differentiated offering.
Ask clarifying questions to understand the target user (e.g., dealership size, type), the sales process, and the primary goal (e.g., increase close rate, reduce time-to-close). Define what 'success' looks like.
Map the automotive sales journey from lead generation to closing, and pinpoint inefficiencies such as poor lead qualification, lack of real-time inventory insights, or ineffective follow-up.
Generate product ideas that address the pain points, then prioritize based on impact and feasibility. Consider AI-driven lead scoring, CRM integration, or virtual showroom tools.
Detail the chosen solution: key features, user experience, and how it integrates with existing systems. Explain how it leverages data and Amazon's capabilities (e.g., AWS, Alexa).
Outline a GTM strategy: target segments, pricing model, and channels. Define success metrics such as close rate improvement, sales cycle time reduction, and user adoption.
