 Jobber - Nutritious Fresh Vegetable Juice Provider


Neighbourhood has a public garden where people go for exercise, jog or a morning walk. A jobber, juice vendor provides nutritious fresh vegetable juices (Aamla, Jamun, Lemon, Bitter gourd, Beetroot, Tulsi, Bottle gourd etc). The juices are home made every single day by a Producer. Jobber (Provider) does the last mile service.
  • What is the difference brought by this Provider (aka jobber)?
  1. This jobber ensures that the juices are offered at the most pleasant time of the day (morning 6am-830am) for the people who are likely to find juices rejuvenating.
  2. The choice of location chosen by Jobber is prime-most reason why customers come to her, many for months and years. She is reliable and shows up every day/
  3. Jobber's ability to strike a conversation and share interesting stories go a long way in building association with customers.
  4. Emphatically, tries to learn and builds personal connections with visitors giving her daily service a lot more personalization (remembers tastes and drink preferences).
  5. On top of that She offers a digital phone payment service avoiding any cash/card transactions! Considering this is a temporarily erected every day street side stall, this is quite convenient!
What I find fascinating about this jobber is: 
  1. She wins confidence and repeat business because has figured out her source of finished product. 
  2. She has sorted out her customer demographic quite clearly.
  3. She clearly differentiates with her fresh offering from supermarket packaged alternatives.
  4. Has easy non-assuming style of functioning, dedication in her daily job, difference comes from her offering
  5. Reliable daily service and smart communication with customer base. 
  6. Commands asking price which is decently marked up over producers price.

Checks and balances!

Defining a good purpose, setting a target goal and getting people working on them is usually not enough! There are too many aspects involved in getting the results we want. For example, there is an aspect of painting the big picture, working on motivation management, productivity tracking, building experimentation labs, and erecting resilient systems that systematize the workflows. Just putting bodies to work and defining milestones rarely achieves the right results. The other aspects that help march towards the milestones in an orderly manner, they are equally important. At the very least, they make objectives widely understandable and results more attainable. The job of a thought leader is to enable progress and enable recovery. Therefore, it is never enough to have just ideas. Those with ideas also have the responsibility to assemble the work environment in such a way as to create situations containing the energy disperses. Energy dispersal from lack of clarity, loss of motivation, ...

Liked? Or Respected?

It is easy to bend backwards and accomodate others. When you do so, it is obvious to generate affection that leads to you being likeable. You tend to be always available, seek others' attention more that what your needs are for yourself, or do things to transactionally connect with others. As long as you continue doing what others prefer, you are sure to be liked! And who does not like to liked like that! People pleasing acts have huge downsides. It is different when you set boundaries, take a principled stand about when do you indulge with collaborative activity involving others and when you focus on your priorities. Principles drive energies, brings rigor and sets responsibilities. It is governed with consistency and you come across that uniform, thought and consistent in any and every situation as against preferential. Obviously, principled person is hard to pierce into. When you do, you will discover rythem of clear communication, prioritisation, importance of building long-ter...

Own it!

Owning is an act of proactive work.  You own through willingness and willingness emerges as a result of feeling the sense of belonging. Initiative helps define baby steps that gives you access to responsibility. Responsibility allows you to take actions that give you the power to influence but never control the outcomes. However, this act of taking baby steps eventually lets us be owners - of our own decisions. Owning vital responsibility usually results in desired results and happiness for yourselves or owning responsibility can sometimes mean taking an arduous endless path to make those around you happy. The best you can do is to own your decisions and accept the outcomes you get.
