Early last month, MI5 called me at my bungalow in the Cayman Islands to let me know 009 (aka ‘The Conversation Agent’) wanted to arrange a meeting of minds. I happily agreed and we exchanged dialogue about marketing, retail, and psychology. The Russians and Chinese tried to intercept the transmissions, but we successfully dodged them and divided the conversation into a 2-part series: Signal 1 and Signal 2
Enjoy!

Mario:
That was really funny
I am pleased with the conversation and the high level of participation. I will now work on a portable version with credits and links to post this coming week as a take away. Thank you again for the fantastic meeting of the minds, which only curious people will be able to download and use.
Thank-you for the opportunity to converse. Product marketing and retail is such a huge field with mainly the following variables:
Product Category
Party (Supplier, Manufacturer, Distributor, Sales Agent, Retailer, Shopper, End-User)
Stage in Individual Product Lifecycle (Concept Development, Product Development, Channel Readiness, Commercialization, Analysis & Tuning)
Stage in Product Market Lifecycle (Introduction, Growth, Maturity, Decline or Stability)
Functional Discipline (Marketing & Sales, Finance, Logistics, Product Design & Development)
Maybe I’m missing some topics, but if you mix and match while conceptually digging deeper, you’ll come across any subject.
