Poor Customer service - Premature Reduction of marketing budget in year 5 led to decrease in customer awareness and accessibility. Pricing - lack of understanding of how Capsim works (repositioning the product to a different segment in year 4) led to us underpricing a product we assumed had moved to a different segment.
