This is amazing advise. People working in tech, especially in high tech orgs live in bubbles and often imagine that the whole world is like this. I know a multimillion £ business that probably gained hundreds of thousands in productivity by simply introducing shared mailbox. Some of those low hanging fruits are litterly on the ground ready to be picked up.

Good if someone can pull it off. But, I believe that company might have sold that feature as an add-on to their existing customers. Otherwise, you know “Sales” are the hard part


I think the advice here is not so much to sell a solution to these businesses, but to start a business in that sector and run it more efficiently---thanks to tech magic---than the competition.


> but to start a business in that sector

That's what I also meant. Even if you start a business, the features that your product would have, will be sold as a "solution" - in layman's terms.

Why we are talking about low-hanging fruit instead of picking them up? I have a hunch they aren't low hanging after all.
