-      I chose a doctor here in town that it known for his investment practices and knows a lot about business. He also carries his own medical practice. I know the doctor as I used to work for him at his practice. He expects to see me do well in college and become successful in whatever business tract I follow. I think he has a lot of connections and therefore will bring a lot of connections to me.

Market Expert

-      I chose a close friend that studies advertising because he has spoken with me about opening his own business with a line of clothing. I found Thomas whenever I started freshman year and we instantly vibes together. I think that our exchanges are very friendly, and he would be willing to help me with anything. 

Supplier

-      I chose my friend, Mika. Who has a lot of experience selling and providing certain products due to her background. I found her because she dated a close friend of mine and we stayed in touch and became such good friends. I think she will be beneficial to any business due to her selling experience and also wouldn’t od me dirty in any business transactions.

I think the reflection will be good to determine how we will promote out business. I personally want a very creative vibe but also one that comes off as professional. This will be different from the networking events I have been to because usually I am on the consumer side instead of trying to sell my own product.

Idea Napkin No. 2

1)   My name is Brynn Priceand I am a sophomore at UF studying Sociology. My aspirations include being a lawyer and doing well in undergrad. My skills are that I am very organized and task oriented. I do well when given a deadline. If the business were to play a part in my life, I don’t see it as a main time consumer. I see it more of allowing someone else to take it over.

2)   I’m offering an alternative to no show socks that makes it to where they won’t fall off.

3)   Offering it to anyone that currently wear no show socks

4)   They care because current socks are uncomfortable and can’t stay on very well.

5)   I feel like I have the motivation that most people don’t and the creativity of a kid so it can be a successful, aesthetic business.

6)   I think that a lot of these fit together due to the business having to be creative and the lawyer aspect of doing everything by the law.

What do I have in common with the customer avatar?

I am a little bit on the conservative side and tend to fall into my work. I feel like I did shift the character to me a little bit and have a lot in common with her. We wouldn’t be friends because I hate people that are like me and power hungry. 

If I have anything in common, is it a coincidence?

I think this is due to me being an ideal customer for my invention so I formed the person to be a little like me .

17A Presentation #2

Here is my presentation. I didn't receive any feedback but feel as if I have improved my flow of words in this video.

1. After conducting my interviews I found that people don’t care for the most expensive things or the best quality of things but more of a balance between the two. They would like to see good quality but in terms of price that also come with a hefty price tag. Normally you can find things that are balanced out if you try and look hard enough.
2. The people i interviewed were more likely to shop at places that had a little more off brand items but was known for being well priced. They wouldn’t finance anything because that puts them at jeopardy of forgetting or affecting their credit score. They shopped often at places like Trader Joe’s, Ross, and Marshall’s. 
3. A good purchase to my interviewees was that they actually used the product. Too often did they find themselves paying for things they never used. If they used it then that shows they invested in an item that was influential in their lives.
4. The interviews were very nice and I got into the headspace of people who don’t necessarily think the exact same as me. It was nice to get more diverse opinions and they showed me a glimpse into more of a mature outlook on things like buying and how to sell for maximum profit and how to find a nice equilibrium between quality and price
5. I think this segment taught us a look into how we can profit from learning others ways of thinking in the market. We can’t be close minded due to our methods not being universal.

Reflecting on these interviews I found a lot of similarities in what I see in myself. The people i interviews discussed that I do work hard and how I am able to handle many things in my life at once. Coming to college is a hard time and especially a place where your time management skills are pushed to the max. I think I have a pretty good sense of who I am and i saw this reflected in the interviews. If i could go back and redo my list from number 1, I would probably include a lot more social encountered things because physical things have stopped being such bad altercations for me and I have become more at peace with things that don’t go my way throughout the day.
