I feel that I have a few strong talents. My best talent is my ability to socialize. I am a very friendly person and I can talk to anyone. Another talent I have is my ability to stay motivated on a task. I aspire to be someone with a large family that I am very close with and to have a steady job that pays enough to support my family. If I were to start this business, I would devote the majority of my day to this business if it projects to be very successful, however, family is extremely important to me and time must be devoted at night to them.
2) What are you offering to your customers?
The service that I am offering to customers is an assistant service for business owners or bosses can hire to help around the office or with personal work. This assistant service will utilize college students to give them the experience in the workplace that they are looking to be apart of one day.
3) Who are you offering it to?
My assistant service will be offered to anyone, however a smaller subset of people will find the service more useful than others. My target consumers will be any business owner, manager, or boss that needs assistance around the office or with their personal work. The consumers could be male or female and could be any age. All of my customers will have one thing in common, they will all need the help of an assistant to get their work completed on time and in an efficient manner.
4) Why do they care?
Customers will pay for my service because it is a service that will only be used by the people who really need it. The assistants will be all college students so they will sign up to be an assistant for someone in the workforce, and the people that need the assistant will pay for it because that is the only way you can get an assistant.
5) What are your core competencies?
What sets my company apart from everyone else is the utilization of college students as the assistants. This will be a fast and easy way to hire an assistant that is specializing in the same field as you but just doesn't have the same work experience because they're in college. Finding a helpful assistant will never be easier than this.
Feedback Memo
- I received a lot of good feedback from my first idea napkin. None of the feedback really told me to make any changes so I only changed a few small parts. One of the main takeaways I took from my feedback was incorporating why the use of college students is a better use of personal assistants than using older personal assistants that already graduated from college. The second takeaway I took from my feedback was to emphasize how this will help people not waste time anymore and get their work done on time.
Hi Max,
ReplyDeleteHaving the ability to socialize is an amazing trait to have when it comes to marketing a company and getting it out to the world. The utilization of college students is a key advantage because they can be much more useful and available than older, out of college assistants. It is also beneficial to the students hired because they are able to get more experience out in the working world before they graduate. Great job Max!
Hey Max,
ReplyDeleteI like how the first thing you talk about it is your ability to socialize. This is a skill that actually very valuable in the business world and may not be as common as you think. What is interesting about the character trait of being personable, is that when developing a new business, you need to figure out how to exploit this and use it to your advantage.
Hi Max,
ReplyDeleteBeing a social person and able to talk to anyone gives you such a great advantage in business. Especially when networking and pitching ideas, you will be able to make connections with those who could possibly help you in the future. Motivation is also very important since if you lose motivation, then what is the point of continuing? Having the right attitude and being motivated is the best route you could go on.
