I believe that my company Stud-ease is still
a great opportunity that if pursued properly would help out a problem for a lot
of students. Learning how to study that is beneficial for you can be the
difference in a C and a B, and a B and an A.
I believe that I
have targeted the right audience in the student age group. I again chose to
interview high school and middle school students for this group of interviews
to gain more knowledge about their studying habits. This provided a greater
sample size and allowed me to start recognizing trends in my data.
The
questions I used to conduct each interview:
·
What grade are you in?
·
Do you study for your exams or tests?
·
How long would you say that you typically
study for?
·
What are your study techniques? How do you
study?
·
Has anyone ever taught you how to study?
·
Would you be open to learning a new way to
study?
Based on some of the feedback I received and
the direction I wanted to go with my opportunity I wanted to know if anyone had
taught my customers to study before. This question would gauge potential customer’s
previous experience with learning how to study. I also removed a few of the questions that seemed to be irrelevant
to the purpose of my interviews.

Interview 3: https://youtu.be/aEj0zwP9rlg
Interview 4: https://youtu.be/ZQktdlSOk7o
Interview 5: https://youtu.be/aF2zVI-vOLY
When I first started exploring this
opportunity I thought it was just a small problem that I faced when I was in
high school and now in college. But I have realized that through these
interviews that this problem is still one faced by many today. Studying is
something that leads to success and is also something being neglected to be
taught to students today.
When I started
interviewing potential customers I found it to be somewhat intimidating. But
the more you do the less intimidating it became. Some tips I would offer is to
be bold in your questioning. Get answers that are going to really help you
learn about the solutions to the opportunity you have found. Another tip I
would offer is to know what you are doing, or at the least fake it until you
make it. Seem confident with your questions and ask them in that manner. The
last tip I would offer is just to be yourself. There is nothing that makes a
potential customer more comfortable than a friendly smile and warm personality. :)
Great blog! :)
ReplyDeleteHey, Skylar!
ReplyDeleteFirst and foremost, I like the fact that you interviewed children. When I was coming up with my list of questions, I only thought to talk to adults. I also liked how you asked the kids what year in school they are. Your questions were simple and to the point and gave a very good idea of what your opportunity was even though I hadn't watched your first set of interviews. Nicely done!
I did not actually film a second set of interviews, but if you want to check out the rest of my blog you can! nika-uf-ent3003.blogspot.com
