Identifying Three Types of Companies

According to Jason Fyfer, there are three types of companies. The first type creates a solution that people know they need, like a plumber who solves a plumbing issue. The second type creates a solution that nobody really needs, such as a mug that controls liquid temperature from a phone. The third type creates a solution that people need but don't realize they need. These are solutions that offer great benefits, but clients don't see the need for them initially.
