A DAY WITH TANDEMIC CREW
By the day after, which is the second day, we had been enjoyed our day with TANDEMIC crew.



The business model canvas
This is the business model canvas that had been introduced by Tandemic crew for us. we're learn how to make our business plan by this business model canvas step by step.
The business model canvas: 
    1. Market segment
 Who is the target customer of our proposed product? This could be the company’s entire customer base, a segment, or a new market or vertical. Ash recommends using a separate Lean Canvas for each segment where one has multiple segments in mind, and I think that’s good advice as a starting point.
    2. Problem
 A brief description of the top problems we’re addressing. I try to limit this to at most 3
    3. Existing alternatives
 How is the customer solving this problem today? This may not be just direct competitors. For example, in the early days, Quicken’s competition was not only other accounting software, but also checkbooks, and pen and paper.
    4. Solution
What are the most essential features of our solution that will deliver on our UVP? This is not an exhaustive feature list. I try to limit it to the top 3 elements of my proposed solution.
5. Channels- how to sell/ marketing. How to deliver to customer
 How will we get (acquire), keep (retain), and grow (sell more to existing) customers? What is the marketing and sales strategy?
    6. Revenue streams

How will we make money? What’s our pricing strategy? If this is not a revenue generating product, what other business value is it providing? Improving customer satisfaction? Customer lifetime value? Market positioning? Competitive differentiation? Operational efficiencies?


Its Banana boat's time!! At  the evening we enjoyed our moment by riding the banana boat. You know what?  Its pretty fun!! and of course I enjoyed it.
exciting moment!
