1. Domain Expert- Eduardo Rosquete is someone I have met that is in the same lawn care business field that my business would be in. He has had a lawn care business for 15 years. I was working with Eduardo at Publix because he had Publix as a second job. I used to help him a lot at work with different problems at Publix. He offered me help with giving me insight into helping me start a lawn business.
2. Market Expert- Ralph Daniels is a lawn equipment repairman that has been involved in the industry for over 30 years. I found him through Eduardo Rosquete because thats where he goes for for lawn equipment repairs. I will give him business by letting him work on my lawn equipment. He will help me by giving me pointers in the industry.
3. Supplier- Cutter Power is a shop in Tampa that specializes in all lawn equipment. I met the business by doing a quick google search for a lawn equipment salesman. I will buy equipment from them and then they will give me pointers of the proper equipment to buy that will worthwhile.
I believe all three of these people will help me enormously and help to show me new opportunities. I think they will help me to find new contacts in the industry and expand my business. In the future I will always talk to as many people as I can and collect as much information about the field as I can.
Peter,
ReplyDeleteThese are some helpful contacts to have. Identifying the three was pretty straightforward for the business you are in and they all can serve you in some way. Ralph specifically seems like someone in your market that will be important to have a close relationship with as repairs will need to be quick so you can get right back to business. Any down time for repairs could potentially halt you making money.
