L3 Quests: Your Homework

Both of the following L3 quests require some market research - which anyhow should become a core skill of yours: 

• Scientific Benefits (skill: Research)
• Leadership Cart (skill: Commerce)

 
 

Scientific Benefits

This may turn out to be the hardest L3 quest. That's why we postpone to discuss it later and suggest you tackle the easier quests first.

Leadership Cart

At first, this seems an impossible challenge! In many countries, the retail ranking >>Retail  >>Stores )
is dominated by the top players, based on a vast network of stores and access to huge volumes of high quality goods.

 

Example USA:  > $50 billion 

A deep dive into market research and small markets (countries) is key, and reveals:
Seychelles:  only >$13 million to enter Top5!  (at the time of writing)

 

Example Seychelles: at the time is a single-city market, an absolutely achievable quick-win. So you can ramp up a store, put decent TV-advertising to speed up store attendance, and *bham* enter the Seychelles Top5 retailers within 2 turns. It can be so easy - if you put some time into market research :)

Additional benefit: Taking and holding Top5 positions in retail of any country is an excellent way to give back to your corporation. Why? You will earn 3 "certificates" for your corporation. Certificates are required to enable corporate benefits   :)
