Expert in your industry: The expert in
my industry that I contacted is a close friends mother who works as a nurse in
an elderly home. After gathering her contact information, I was able to call her
for a quick conversation over my opportunity belief. She was on board especially
after explaining the two different aspects coming together.
Expert
on your market: The expert in my market that I selected was my general doctor.
Since I have visited her many of times it has become knowingly clear that the
majority of her patients seem to be above the ages of 50 accompanied by heath issues
or emotional disorders. As we spoke over the phone she explained how this would
be a wonderful idea if ever put into place. Patients exposed to the rehabilitation
aspect would likely stay for the other activities. She stated that she would survey
and gather information of me as a heath professional in the field and that she
could also send patients in my direction.
Supplier
to your industry: The supplier to my
industry was not easy to find. I choose to speak with a close friend that works
at a local gym. The reason I picked him is because this gym has reoccurring elderly
visitors. This would make him a great supplier as he can point them in my direction.
Finally:
Reflect. This is somewhat new to me as I have always networked
within research or within the medical field but never with a business mind set.
This means that right now I am inexperienced and lack the tools to continue
without meeting more people, but this is not impossible and will not stop me.
Hi Cesar, it seems that these connections were very beneficial when it comes to having a better insight into this market. I am very happy that you had the opportunity to speak to all of these people because not it seems that you have very positive feedback. I am sure that once you launch this service then your supplier will be able t send the elderly people your way. It is definitely a potential partner!
ReplyDeleteHi Cesar! I still like your idea a lot because it can help the elderly feel like they matter and not make them feel like they don't. This can truly happen at nursing homes since it is not as focused on helping them feel at home but more just caring for them. Your idea can help to make them be active and happy. I think the people you asked to review your idea are great and gave you good insight about your business idea. Good job!
ReplyDeleteHey Cesar, I think the connections you made in this assignment are great and would be very helpful with your business. You had a wide variety of people and level of experience as well as multiple fields of work represented which I liked. I also related to your comments in the reflection section. I found this assignment different because I had never really networked with a business concept before. I normally just listen to information the networker has and try to gain knowledge.
ReplyDeleteHey Cesar, these connections that you made seem very beneficial according to your business idea and plan. It really seems like you gained a better insight into the industry from these experts which is a great thing. I'm glad you were able to adapt a business mindset as it will help you in the future with this idea. Great job.
