Several companies were accelerated their plans for adding an online/e-commerce function to their business, which may have been the only way those companies survived. The consumer behavior over the past year almost necessitated that companies expand their online presence. One of the primary ways that companies maintain an online presence is through this webs...

Better You 4U - An Entrepreneur's Journey4. DEVELOPING YOUR OFFER - JAMES W BRYANTINTRODUCTION
For there to be a solution there first must be a problem. Many businesses fail to clearly define the problem that they are solving for their customers. Businesses are great at talking about the technical capabilities of their products and services, but people do not buy technical capabilities. People buy solutions to their real or perceived problems. When developing a product or thinking through how you want to market or launch your product, answering this one question from the perspective of your customer is critical: “What problem does this product of service solve?”.
