Episódio 9 - O temperamento sanguíneo

3. Offering a new product/service to reach new customers

Your business might be doing well, but there is no growth or development and there is a risk that your competitors might take away some of your customers. Innovation sometimes means developing a new product that targets a different market. Although video games were often played by boys, in 2006, video games giant Nintendo introduced the game console Nintendo Wii, successfully targeting girls and older customers with games like Cooking Mama and Brain Training.  

4. Changing the way you provide a service

By looking at the changes to the customer's lifestyle and needs, we sometimes realise that there might be better ways to serve them. Customers who do not have a lot of time might prefer to have their food or their shopping delivered to their homes, or they might like to do their banking online rather than in an actual bank.

Not all innovation will bring success to our businesses, but it can give us the opportunity to grow and learn more about what we do and what our customers might want.

What is it that keeping you buying from certain companies over others? Is it a price? A service or something special that you don't even know? Explore and let me know :)

To your success!!!

美国上周初请失业金人数增幅超过预期，但这可能并不意味着就业市场状况出现实质性转变。目前就业市场依然紧张。鉴于劳动力市场的动荡，雇主可能不愿裁员，因为雇主仍关注员工的留任问题。总体而言，未来几周的不确定性将很大，因为与假日相关的典型季节性模式与依然异常紧张的劳动力市场相冲突。科技行业的裁员人数有所增加，比如推特、亚马逊和Meta。然而，预计这不会对劳动力市场和整体经济造成重大拖累
