Someone who isn't afraid of change, has the ability to make decisions, and wants your product. Identifying this person can be difficult. Often, the people who are the easiest to find and engage with have no influence or authority. In shorthand, a NINA. Instead, you need to find someone with both influence and authority and a willingness to help. CHAMPION NINA (IA): Influence + Authority (Time Waster): No Influence, No Authority WHAT IS A CHAMPION?
