When Erica and Felicity walked past the Giesen stand at a 2023 wine fair, they knew they had to stop and find out why the guy pouring wine seemed so happy, when everyone else around him was gloomy about wine's downturn. It turned out that Kyle Skene, the Group General Manager of New Zealand's Giesen Group, has a lot to be optimistic about. When they found out why, they immediately invited him on the podcast.  Giesen is a major player in New Zealand wine, and the company has a culture of creativity and experimentation, which led to the creation of Giesen's 0% wines, including Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, a red blend, and others. With more than $10 million in sales annually of its non-alc wines, Giesen's 0% has become the second-biggest non-alc wine brand in the U.S. behind Fré. What they learned was that by leaping into a new category, there were other market opportunities waiting to be tapped. In this episode, Kyle reveals what it takes to launch products into highly competitive markets, while retaining the market-leading position of existing products. TOP TAKEAWAYS 1. Research is key It's not enough to read consumer survey data. Giesen relies on research, starting with their own sampling programs, and staying abreast of research from other consumer categories.  2. Be your own consumer Giesen developed its 0% non-alc product after employees took a company-wide fitness challenge and swore off alcohol for a month. It was a tough call for a wine company — so they decided to develop something to keep themselves on track. 3. Get everyone on board Many winemakers went into the profession because they love wine as a product, so suggesting they develop a non-alc product was a big ask. But getting people on board is critical. 4. Staying true to company values can spur innovation The technology that produces non-alc products has a sustainability problem, which meant using it undermined Giesen's environmental values. In solving the problem, they saw the potential for new products. 5. Don't forget the ‘winemaker family' test Before launching any new products on the market, Giesen's winemakers trial it on family and friends. If it doesn't pass the test, it doesn't go to market.

Tourism Minister Peeni Henare has claimed prices faced by tourists in New Zealand are too steep and he is monitoring them closely. Peeni Henare appreciates that operators are making up for lost earnings after the Covid-19 pandemic, but wants to ensure travellers can enjoy what New Zealand can offer without overpaying. Haka Tourism Group general manager Eve Lawrence says New Zealand's 'harsh' immigration settings and high inflation and food prices have a knock-on effect in creating high rates. "For the most part, prices are increasing because of the level of inflation and settings for immigration and worker wage increases." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hosted by Robert Hossary About Keith Rowe Having joined the workforce as a sixteen-year-old, Keith Rowe went on to become the Television and Electronic Technicians Institute of Australia (TETIA) Apprentice of the Year. From there, it was obligatory National Service, graduating from the Army's Officer Training Unit (OTU) as a 2nd Lieutenant, and completing his two-year obligation as a Troop Commander within a Royal Australian Signals field regiment.  Back in the civilian workforce, Keith moved into sales and marketing with EMI, lucky enough to be offered the opportunity of a lifetime, with his appointment as inaugural National Sales Manager for the setting up of a Toshiba-EMI joint venture - the forerunner of Toshiba's Australian operation. Eight years later, by then General Manager - Consumer Products for Toshiba Australia, he stood down to form his own company to pursue consulting and training work.  Keith also set up the Australian distributor for Casio (as Managing Director), the recovery of Sanyo's market position in the early nineties (as General Manager - Sales and Marketing), and the re-structuring of Sharp Corporation of Australia (as Corporate Director and Group General Manager).  Keith has taken his renowned ‘KNACK of Selling' program to wherever it was demanded across Australasia and Southeast Asia. He has conducted workshops in close to a hundred locations - from Sanyo's International Headquarters in Osaka Japan to a scout hall in outback Australia - involving well over a thousand participants.  He has worked across a wide span of market sectors, including computers, sporting goods, jewellery, homewares, telecommunications, electronic components, and too many more to mention here today. Keith is an active speaker, trainer, and writer, he has published close to a hundred articles and has an evolving series of books.  Episode Notes Lesson 1.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited says the Federal Government has stepped up its probe into the massive crude oil theft in the Niger Delta, as all those found guilty are going to face prosecution.It says the oil company was also working with security agencies and the private firm contracted to carry out pipeline surveillance in the oil-rich region. The former leader of the militant group, Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta, told journalists recently in Delta State that a 4km illegal oil pipeline was discovered in the Forcados area of the state. The Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, NNPC Limited, Garba-Deen Muhammad, said culprits would be prosecuted.

The Federal Government is set to re-open the Trans Niger Pipeline that transports about 180,000 barrels of crude oil daily. The pipeline was shut down six months ago due to vandalism and theft at the oil export facility. The pipeline also serves as part of the country's gas liquids evacuation infrastructure, which is vital for domestic power generation and the export of liquefied gas. The Group General Manager, National Petroleum Investment Management Services, Bala Wunti, says his team visited the people of Bodo Community in Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State, which was part of efforts to re-open the TNP. Wunti says this was part of the company's continuous journey to re-strengthen its trust with one of the communities where NAPIMS and its partners were conducting business. He says NAPIMS was able to achieve this because of the support and commitment of the leadership of NNPC, noting that the national oil firm had continued to focus on strengthening partnerships with communities, operating partners, states and relevant stakeholders.
