Assignment 25A: What's Next?
Existing Markets:
What’s next? For my business the next step in providing services
is by adding an important aspect to it. I will plan to provide optional
services that will give the customer to be present during the repair of his/her
boat during a small repair in hopes that they will retain the knowledge and will
be able to fix small things themselves in case they are stranded on the boat.
Interview 1: After I asked what else to do, he said provide
a lobby with food/drinks and have a employee/client meeting so they make a
personal connection. He claims that this would be a good idea and would add
even further to my provided services.
Interview 2: This interviewee said almost the same as my
idea, but a little different. She said that I should actually provide a class
for motor repairs and potential repairs that could lead to sinking in case of an
emergency while one is out on the water. Once I presented my idea, she actually
agreed that this would be better and will provide hands on learning that could
help with a client’s future in devours.
Interview 3: For this, the interviewee said all services are
already being performed. As long as the repairs were done professionally, in a
reasonable time, and at a fair price, then all of the client’s needs and wants
are definitely satisfied. This is what a boat mechanic does, and this is all
that I am required to do. Once I presented my idea this persona claims that
would be a separate business idea, but that if I did include it, it would
ensure to differentiate me from competitors.
What is most sense in terms of growing in future? 2-3 par.
For me to grow in the future potential markets, there is
three important elements I must provide to supersede over my competitors. I must
act professionally and must ensure all of my employees do so as well. I must
meet deadlines and always please my customers to provide for my free
advertising and customer satisfaction.
If I did want to provide additional service I should
definitely take it into further consideration. I should think about the
potential advantages and disadvantages, so I can ensure that this will not affect
my services negatively in a major way.
New Market:
Radically different market? I will look to provide my
services in training mechanics.
How will this create value in that market? This will allow
me to get employees under contract that have been taught the way of performing
my needed fillings and this will improve my services for the market.
Interview 1: I interviewed one of my friends that is a potential
employee of my business and I asked him about this training service. He said
this would be extremely beneficial and would lead to better success of my company.
This would help the mechanics become professionals and would show how I would
need them to perform to be successful.
Interview 2: Also, I interviewed another potential employee
and the same exact thing was said. He also thinks this would assist me and
would enforce contracts that will force my employees to stay with me if I put
in the consideration of them being trained under my wing.
Reflect about new market and what I learned? I think this is
a great potential breach into a new market. Although it does not attest to direct
profits it will allow me to rake benefits in the future and will ensure that my
company is ran how I want it to by my employees.
I think this is a necessity to provide free services to my
potential employees. It will teach them how to become efficient, effective and better
at their potential job. It will allow me to enforce contracts that requires
them to stay if I train them to be professionals in this field.
Dylan,
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the first phase of this post, with the opportunity section I believe that a large portion of entrepreneurship is our ability to see opportunity, and then our fearlessness to capitalize on it when its out there.
Dylan,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your post about the future of your product. I think that you are heading the right direction from where you are. I really like where you talked about how you were going to teach the customers how to fix small issues with their boats. Having owned a boat most of my life I can tell you that knowing how to fix little things can save you a lot of money and you will see the person who taught you as a trustworthy person and you build a favorable relationship.
Dylan,
ReplyDeleteYour mentality about not always getting profit for the good of the customer is the same mentality I had for my product! At times not gaining in every aspect will help in future endeavors because you have a solid customer base!
Hey Dylan!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on this week’s blog post! I really enjoyed that you will give customers the option to be present for minor repairs that need to be fixed on their boats. Allowing customers to do this will show that you are being truthful about your knowledge with boats, and it will give them a sense of security that they hired the perfect person for the job. Overall, great job!
