Product Lead (Male)
Alright team, based on the pilot program feedback and the latest market analysis, it's clear we're hitting some roadblocks with our initial target audience. The engagement just isn't there.
各位团队成员,根据试点项目的反馈和最新的市场分析,很明显我们最初的目标受众遇到了一些障碍,用户参与度不高。

Marketing Specialist (Female)
I agree. Our current marketing spend isn't translating into the user acquisition numbers we forecasted. It seems like the messaging isn't resonating, or perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree entirely.
我同意。我们当前的营销支出并没有转化为我们预测的用户获取量。似乎是信息没有引起共鸣,或者我们完全找错了方向。

CEO (Female)
So, what's the plan? Are we talking about a tweak, or a full-blown pivot here? We need to be decisive. The runway isn't infinite.
那么,计划是什么?我们是在谈微调,还是彻底转向?我们需要果断,资金不是无限的。

Product Lead (Male)
I believe it needs to be a significant pivot. Our data suggests a stronger need for our core technology in the B2B space, specifically with small to medium-sized enterprises, rather than general consumers. That changes our feature set and, crucially, our revenue model.
我认为这需要一个重大的转变。我们的数据显示,我们的核心技术在B2B领域有更强的需求,特别是中小型企业,而不是普通消费者。这将改变我们的功能集,最重要的是,改变我们的收入模式。

Marketing Specialist (Female)
Shifting to B2B would mean a complete overhaul of our go-to-market strategy. We'd be looking at different channels, sales cycles, and a much more consultative approach. But the potential ROI could be much higher.
转向B2B意味着我们的市场进入策略将彻底改变。我们将考虑不同的渠道、销售周期和更具咨询性的方法。但潜在的投资回报率可能会高得多。

CEO (Female)
It's a big decision, but it sounds like a necessary one. If we're truly hitting a wall with our current model, then pivoting gracefully now is better than burning through resources on a losing battle. Let's put together a detailed plan for this B2B pivot, outlining the new product roadmap, marketing strategy, and financial projections. I want to see it by end of week.
这是一个重大的决定,但这听起来是必要的。如果我们当前的模式确实碰壁了,那么现在优雅地转型总比在一场必败的战役中耗尽资源要好。让我们为这次B2B转型制定一个详细的计划,概述新的产品路线图、营销策略和财务预测。我希望在本周末看到它。
