Understanding Problem Archetypes
There are three primary archetypes of problems that customers are willing to solve, which are crucial for entrepreneurs to consider. The first archetype, known as the 'hole,' arises when customers find themselves in a difficult situation that demands urgent resolution. For example, if a customer realizes they've forgotten a critical item like a baby monitor while traveling, they will actively seek a quick solution, even if it involves using a makeshift rental service. This urgency often allows for a higher tolerance of product quality issues since the immediate need overshadows other concerns.
