The CEO and Founder of Jewel, Paul Archer, was the key speaker at the webinar. He shared practical tips on building a compatible product strategy, curating a selection process to attract diverse people, and developing your product team.
As Mike and Paul talk about iterating your products for the market fit and scaling your team’s work, the businesses will get a great insight into how they can boost their products. The businesses must understand that it is a social commerce area where everything comes from real people. Brands can create programs on the platform provided by Jewel where they can incentivize their tasks too.
The service companies must work with the brands to understand the problems they can have with the software or the market products. The end-users must not suffer because of these issues. Most big brands work towards optimizing word of mouth and not just selling the products. The innovators and explorers will creatively accomplish the things that can help the businesses in the long run.
The advocacy and loyalty programs help people by rewarding their immediate customers. Businesses must learn about the Unicorn role early instead of getting at the VIP level. Articulating the value proposition in the market is quite important. Carry out quality R&D and case studies to empower your business. A happy and contended business perspective is what Paul was talking about when considering the CEO’s role. It is important to set a vision to watch things differently.
