One of the basic principles taught in marketing is to suss out why someone buys a product. That seems a simple enough thing to do, but is it? What makes this complex is the fact that different jobs demand different products. Let's say you're sending a physical object to someone who's on another continent. You aren't going to take it there yourself, so your likely option is to mail it. To you, the mail service fits the mold of the product you should buy in this case. But let's pretend this object is a birthday present and their birthday is tomorrow. Now, what you require is a ‘it-absolutely-positively-has-to-get-from-here-to-there-overnight' product and for that, only a global courier like FedEx fits the mold. Not every product in a category suits the job the customer has in mind, so those of us selling products must know the job our product is bought to do. And these jobs can loosely be divided by whether they: help us improve something we may not feel an urgent need for – Vitamins immediately solve something we absolutely positively need – Painkillers That's how someone I know describes these two job types. She's joining us to explain how knowing which type we have impacts positioning, customer service, product roadmapping and more. Dipalli Bhatt is the head of marketing at Incognito Software Systems. She has 15 years of product and corporate marketing experience and has worked with organizations like Disney and TD Canada Trust which listed her as one of '30 under 30′ marketing professionals to watch.

I've just joined as a member with Balance Well Being. On July 13 I got the chance to sit down with BWB's Founder and President Shawna McRae and ask her all about it. We talk about the sometimes-lonely world of the Entrepreneur and the tremendous value of regularly connecting with dozens of other like-minded individuals.You can listen to Episode 23 (and see the Show Notes) of the I Love Kelowna Podcast right here:Apple PodcastIf You Don’t Have Apple PodcastIf you enjoyed this episode, an iTunes review would be SO appreciated!SHOW NOTESShawna worked for TD Canada Trust for 21 years; 15 years as a branch manager.Born and raised in Calgary, moved to Kelowna in 2003 during the big forest fires. Original intention was to stay for just a few years but she fell in love with our city and decided to stay.Almost everyone was affected either directly or indirectly and Shawna was very impressed how the entire city seemed to rally together.During a natural disaster is when you learn there can be a massive difference between insurance policies and insurance companies: what's covered or not, and the way they treat their customers.A real spirit of hope and growth permeated Kelowna in 2004.Financial literacy is crucial to your wealth and peace of mind.Shawna's goal is to help remove the shame and fear surrounding personal money issues.Our culture puts so much emphasis on financial success that it's easy to lose self esteem when things are difficult.One of the greatest causes of romantic relationship stress is financial issues: different spending styles, secrecy, blame for problems that arise. The fundamental problem is poor communication, even before considering related money issues.Make sure you both like and trust the financial professionals you deal with. Don't spend a dime and don't sign anything unless and until those two keys are in place.It's extremely important for financial professionals to watch their language around prospects, especially when they can't currently qualify for what they want. You could be hurting your future prospects if you're not careful.Balance Well–Being is all about healthy relationships with your money, yourself, your business and your local business community.
