    Hey Mauro,

    I enjoyed this post because I think you covered a good array of different issues associated with the current events worldwide. For instance, the damage in the Bahamas was definitely worth mentioning and I enjoyed reading the article from a smaller newspaper and not one covered by CNN or Fox. The only thing I think you could have improved on in this post is your structure. By organizing it into "Problems, Who, What" etc as some of our other group members did would have provided for easier flow and read. However, I think this was still a good blog post overall.

After I read this article, I stopped to think and was able to find common examples of sex workers who enjoy their profession. Today, only fan’s is quite possibly the biggest success around the world. With sex workers being able to not only be in the safety of their homes, but also get paid through a fixed subscription-based system.             In the article, I particularly took notice with ...

1)  Find three people who would fit that segment and arrange to interview them.  Just like last time, these interviews, if conducted properly, should take about 10-15 minutes. Any less, and you won't be able to obtain adequate information. These three people may  NOT  be the same people you interviewed last time.  3)  Begin with alternative evaluation.  In the last case exercise, you determined how customers sought information related to solving their need. The outcome of this step is to produce a set of alternatives. Customers pick from among this set of alternatives. In this step, your job is to figure out how they do their picking. Does price matter the most? Does quality? Does style? Is there more than one factor that is important to your customer segment? 4)  How/where do they buy?  Elements of the actual transaction can help characterize your segment. Is your segment more likely to buy online or in a store? Are they more lik...
