8A- Solving The Problem

-
1.  The opportunity I selected in the previous assignment is based on when a large amount of customers go to a supermarket at night and there isn't enough workers to handle the influx with the self-scanners they currently own.

2. The solution to best solve this problem is to develop a cheaper self-scanner that we can sell to supermarkets. As a result of this, the amount of self-scanners that stores can buy will be multiplied. This will reduce the wait time of consumers and increase customer satisfaction. The company could then schedule significantly less workers during these hours and increase their profit. This will also increase sales because people will no longer leave the store prematurely due to a long line. My product will help these companies respond to their customer needs in a revolutionary way. The main stores I'm targeting to sell this product to are Walmart and Target.

    Hi Felipe, I think that your solution to solving the problem of too little workers available at supermarkets at night is great, and could easily be successful. The only issue of this product may be what happens if there are any malfunctions, so there would have to be someone in the store that could fix this. Overall, this product has the opportunity to help a variety of large supermarkets.

1.                                                                                                                                     Scanno Opportunity:  The opportunity I am attempting to exploit with my product relates to the unmet need among consumers of major retailers. In this day and age consumers want to make their life as easy as simple and easy as possible. Customers want to have the best experience possible when they go to the store and this is the main reason why big retailers are willing to spend loads of money on the customer experience. There will be a high demand among retailers for this product because not only will it increase the number of customers that come to their store, it will also have a positive effect on their brand. By having the latest self-scanner available on the market they will be viewed as a company that values innovation.  Innovation:  My idea is to sell a highly-functional self-scanner so that every register can be occupied with one of th

26A- Celebrating Failure

-
Earlier this semester I decided I wanted to try the ketogenic diet. I heard of all the health benefits this diet could bring and the success people have had losing weight with it. I set a goal to go keto until the end of the semester. I slowly starting taking out certain foods from my diet such as potatoes, pasta, and bread. Each of these foods made up a major part of my diet so I was expecting to see results soon. After about two weeks, I noticed that my energy was increasing and I wasn't feeling so bloated all the time. It was getting hard to handle my cravings but I was satisfied with the results. By the time February came around, I had lost 10 pounds. Around this time, I started to miss pasta more than anything. Italian food has always been my favorite and I was having a weak moment. One weekend my mom made my favorite carbonara pasta and I decided to have a plate. It tasted like the best pasta I'd ever had in my life after a month and a half of being keto. As a result, I d

4A- Forming an Opportunity Belief

-
I do believe that an opportunity exists. The unmet need is universal self-checkout lines. Any business with a register would have a need for this. The reason being is that if all registers were self-checkout then the store could allocate more employees to stocking or reduce the cost of employment by firing inefficient workers. Although this requires someone to check receipts at the exit, but this cost is minuscule compared to the amount the store would be saving. This is a need that has existed, and certain corporations have begun their stride towards it. I am 80% sure that this opportunity exists. The prototypical customer would be an owner or manager of a store with a register within it. Due to a wide personal network, my father has a few friends that own their own stores. I spoke with a 7-11 owner and from my interview with him one of the key concerns is labor productivity. He has had this need ever since he opened this business. As of right now, to counter the lack of productivit
