    Is this idea too competitive? Innovate the same old shopping experience.

    IDEA 
    If you have the stores app enabled and your bluetooth on, the linkup will happen as soon as you step in range. I don't ever see (even with different technology) getting around the 'acknowledged hookup' barrier as not everyone who owns a smartphone wants to be spammed as soon as they walk into a...

    Is this idea too competitive? Innovate the same old shopping experience.

    IDEA 
    Joe I suggest you have a look into a very recent technology called Bluetooth Low Energy. It does exactly what you want and in fact there are several companies developing the exact idea you have. Some large US chains are trialling it. Apple incorporates the "ibeacon" technology in all the new...

    Get a 1 on 1 Call with Jack Edwards and help a Kid Who Is Dying.

    OFF-TOPIC

    Back To Basics - Business in Old Industries

    EXECUTION 
    Very promising Codo. I don't think the standards thing will be a big problem for you. If you have a validated market then the compliance portion should just be viewed as a speedbump in the process of bringing the market what they want imo. Downside is minimised as you already have people...

    Back To Basics - Business in Old Industries

    EXECUTION 
    Sounds interesting. Out of curiosity is it a capital product (one off) or a product they would buy regularly? I pursued a somewhat simialr idea, but looked at supplying consumables and specifically engine coolant to mechanics. I found it was near impossible to compete with existing trade...

    Struggling with Business Ideas? Do This One Thing to Never Run Out of Fastlane Opportunities

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Agreed. Apologies if my posts came across negative...definitely not the intent. Was trying to open up conversation on looking at a different angle of idea extraction or should I say idea innovation. Really enjoy the discussions here, great to see constructive input and not the normal bickering...

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Sorry gents I must have mis-communicated my thoughts. I completely agree with the philosophy of identifying pain points or areas to add value...I just do not have too much belief currently in the method being touted...as in cold call / cold email. Although I am still very early on in the process...

    MTF not calling you out or challenging you but this was what I am alluding to in my earlier reply. Although I agree there are millions of problems I would say an absolute minute percentage would represent true business opportunities. If there were truly millions of problems then we wouldn't...

    Struggling with Business Ideas? Do This One Thing to Never Run Out of Fastlane Opportunities

    GOLD! IDEA 
    So who here can say they have had success from the 'idea extraction' process. It is talked about so much. Using cold emails, cold calls but I haven't really seen anyone come out the other side of the process, in a fastlane direction. I know Dane Maxwell has some examples, but given the...

    I'm stuck searching for the "fail-proof" idea. Help needed.

    IDEA 
    Xmartel, I understand the philosophy but how would one find such 'complacent' businesses? Without first being in the relevant industry that type of insight would not be apparent. Where does one start. What are the practical mechanics of the philosophy? Much like MTF's post where he cited a few...

    Struggling with Business Ideas? Do This One Thing to Never Run Out of Fastlane Opportunities

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Good point. I also suspect that there aren't alot of tangible examples due to : - Fear of stealing ideas. MTF clearly gave good examples because he wasn't fearful of people takin his ideas, which is refreshing given the mantra about execution - Some proportion of people who have executionable...

    GOLD! IDEA 
    MTF this posting is exellent. Often what is missing is practical examples. It is easy to talk about listening to people, finding pain points but it is incredibly hard sometimes to manifest this into something that is tangible, for those withou experience. Already have learnt some great tips...

    May I suggest a book, once suggested by a wise man (MJ I believe): Made to Stick - Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die Quite interesting. May have some hints to virality and sticking in peoples minds. Refers to why 'stupid' urban myths make it global and are treated as gospel..... ICK...

    Haha I like it ICK. You must have been reading my mind. In another thread not 5 minutes ago, I mentioned it may be a great idea to start a seperate thread on the art of cold calling to find problems and to sell your headache solution!
