Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Apple Newton – even successful companies have dog products, the Newton was clunky
  2. Jags were always broken down (poor implementation) and difficult to fix – this perception lingered (last slide)
  3. Price of bet, speed of horse relative to competition – betting is all price and position
  4. Seller of keys
  5. Say Targeting to lead into next slide
  6. Tell Clayton C’s milkshake story
  7. Unsure of last two bullets. These are not direct results of targeting but this knowledge is most likely to be gained when investigating target consumers and what they want.
  8. The right consumers do not see them as mediocre.
