 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!

By Bamboo In The Wind
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, ...

Choking the communication channel.

By Bamboo In The Wind
There are instances where everything looks in order. Structures are rightly in place. Right roles are defined. Responsibilities are distributed. Bi-directional open communication is expected to take place. And with that, collective work is expected to turn out productive. Yet, when the action begins, everything breaks apart. Productivity dwindles, cooperation is missing, and ad-hoc interactions are common-place That creates chaos. No one appears in charge even though there is someone responsible. It clearly is a sign of broken communication channels. A well-orchestrated workplace focuses on methods to communicate grounds-up and top-down. It encourages patient listening, internalizing and responding rather than reacting. All effective open communication channels are a result of making such communication possible. Often, the structures are set such that you centralize communication of every bit of your activity to someone in the hierarchy. Over time it turns into a permission-based inter...

The hyacinth at the surface - nectar - just beneath!

By Bamboo In The Wind
The envy of comparison is an unconscious, quietly growing emotion, like water hyacinth spreading unnoticed on a pond's surface. It surrounds the nectar of the water, creating the illusion of poison. The water itself, however, is inherently sweet, with the nectar infused deeply within it. But just cast off the tangled trap of those creeping vines, and the water will reveal its true nature—flowing freely, tirelessly, with a sparkling clarity. Water’s existence, its entire journey, is one of cooperation, of giving endlessly with a pure heart.  Even in the face of numerous obstacles and thorns along its path, water remains undeterred—a divine miracle, no doubt, but one forged through relentless effort. Who notices this journey? Who understands it? Water has no respite—it constantly battles friction and wear. "Why is this thorny life my lot?" It may ask, as feelings of resentment, anger, jealousy, hatred, sorrow, and helplessness arise. Just when it seems trapped, its spirit s...
