Piecing it all together
You: I'm a sophomore in college who has built working robots, solar-powered go-kart, volunteered for an agricultural business and various other places. I have a knack for finding a new way around something if the old or original way doesn't work out for me. As for aspirations, I'm still thinking about those. This business concept would impact my life by making my dorm life easier as I won't be hearing grinding pipes in the walls and others yelling maniacally.
What are you offering to customers: I'm offering the chance to have a good night's sleep; A chance to enjoy the calming silence of your room. My idea will mellow out stress from a hard days work.
Who are you offering it too: The product/service that I'm providing will be of use to any conjoining rooms or buildings and for any age that likes their peace and enjoys their privacy.
Why do they care: A lot of people who live next to other rooms become accustomed to their environments rambling noises which may increase stress levels during this process. With my service they wouldn't have to go through this. They could enjoy their privacy and peace when they first start living in their building.
What are your core competencies: What sets me apart from everyone else? I live in a dorm next to rooms with blaring noises that can increase stress levels and I never get my piece. What do I have that others in this area may not have? Inexperience, wistfully.
After writing down on my invisible napkin, I've come to realize that my idea is actually very simple in theory but can cost a a decent amount for the building owners. At least from my perspective my service pieces together and is not disjointed. Coming up with an actual game plan will be the real issue of my service/product.
(Edit Note: The product will most likely be a type of padding that will be placed inside the walls to absorb most of the sound coming through the walls. A new type of wall would be way more expensive and would take more time to implement)
Hey Joseph,
ReplyDeleteWhat is exactly the product? Is a type of wall? A device to absorbs noise? I find your background very interesting which can take you a long way with this idea. Your idea can be used not only for college life, but for anyone that lives in apartments or in noisy cities such as New York City.

Hey Joseph!
ReplyDeleteI do agree with Felix about the uncertainty as to what exactly your product really is. I recommend you always mention it with the name and brief explanation in any place that you chose to discuss it. You clearly seem really passionate about your product's purpose and the need it will attend to and I think you have a great idea. Again, I just recommend you always reiterate what it is that you're offering. Otherwise, good job!
