In the realm of business, I find myself oscillating between being a consumer and a seller, depending on the situation and needs at hand. This dual perspective enriches my understanding and approach to market dynamics, allowing me to contribute more effectively in both roles.

Both, but being a seller made me also a better consumer

@fscholz Also being a good consumer understanding all the consumer thoughts and cognitive bias will help being a good seller

@fscholz true, you can become a good consumer by also having the power to delegate some skills to leverage your business to some experts in a certain field. successful business are run by multiple brains, so therefore competing to market standards must require a team and not solo. upvote me and I will upvote you!

The more I get my feet wet in biz the more I start paying attention to how ads are structured, what hooks get my attention, how they call out an ICP, etc. Super cool to see the world through a marketing lens personally!

The consumer come first than the seller. But without both there is no business so both.

Both.. You need to be a consumer to understand the selling points.

Both, cuz I think the best seller is he was already an in-depth user of the product.
