What would you want to learn from installers rather than from the data?

What they are checking: Field curiosity, which is where consumer product insight comes from.

What they are checking: Premiumization in a commodity-feeling category.

A competitor cuts price in your category. What do you do first?

How do you tell the difference between a packaging or merchandising problem and a product problem when sales are soft?

How do you plan for a product whose demand spikes with weather?

What they are checking: Seasonality thinking, specific to wipers and directly relevant to demand planning.

How do you model the profit and loss impact of a promotion before you run it?
