Before I start I apologize for my main blog account on blog.com not working for a while.
I called my interviewer since I didn't go to the city where the business owner resided. I asked her a quick 3 questions after the obvious 'how's your business doing' question.
1. How important are smaller details such as art and decor in the business?
2. How often do you collect feedback?
3. How do you personally motivate your people, 'both workers and customers'
Since I did not record the call I will answer on what she basically said to me for the questions 'I tried to remember how she said the things'
1. Art and decor is very important, it is the environment of the business and that itself can kill or save the business. I'm glad you're thinking outside the box.
2. We have a system on our website to collect feedback, but we also have surveys that they can fill out when they are at the school as well.
3. I personally believe if you are passionate about your job everyone else will follow you. People just work that way.
I personally felt after the interview that I had a more professional insight on how businesses function, since now I can talk about smaller details as well as big details for businesses.
Hey! I think that you did a really good job with your questions! They sound very professional and more like you know the little details about the business. This class has taught us a lot and really showed us the ins and outs of entrepreneurship. Good luck on all your finals!

ReplyDeleteDo, great job on this blog post! You had some great questions for your interview with an entrepreneur. I think the one about how often they collect feedback is my favorite. I think collecting feedback can be useful, not just in entrepreneurial situations, but in almost any situation. I agree that the second time interviewing was a lot easier than the first time. In all, great job with this assignment! Feel free to check out my blog post for this assignment!
