Interviewing Customers No. 2

I was caught off guard by this assignment, though I suppose I shouldn't have. Unfortunately, I went out of town and I really have no way to find 5 people to interview. So I apologize to whoever has to comment on my blog. Though I didn't interview anyone I did talk to a few people about the idea and I have thought about it over the week and did my elevator pitch on it, that being said I think I can write what's needed.

1) When I wrote the first Interviewing Customer No. 1, I wrote about the first idea that came to my mind. It was silly but pretty feasible, an application that matches the user with the cheapest cleaner in the area, similar to Uber. I have thought of a few additions and I will break them down.

•            Squeaky Clean
• Rating system - user can rate the cleaners on several areas. Speed, satisfaction, price, and a few other factors. This will help users pick good cleaners.
• Bidding system - The cleaners will be able to bid on jobs, this will keep the prices lower for the users.
• Customer satisfaction - We would make sure to alert the authorities if any items went missing during a clean-up.

2) This idea is aimed at college kids mostly. Assuming they are too busy or too lazy to clean up, either after a party or because they are unable to find the time to clean. Last time I approached college kids but they said they didn't party enough. Perhaps I could aim this towards the Greek community on campus?

3) I think my questions were pretty solid last week. Perhaps, I would ask for any ideas they would have to improve it, that way I can hear different perspectives.

4)  Sorry, no video.

5) I think I benefited slightly from No. 1 but doing this assignment makes me wonder in about a year or so how many f the people taking this class will have actually gone the extra mile to make their ideas real. That would be quite amazing.

6) I have several tips for the kids taking this class next semester about interviewing kids.
         1) Make sure you stay in Gainesville around the time of the assignment. Turlington is probably              the best place to meet people.
         2) Make sure you do all of your assignments ahead of time.
         3) Make sure you have good questions written out, that helps the people you are interviewing if              they understand the question.
I hope people actually create the ideas they are interviewing about. That would be so amazing to think that a professor made them come up with a profitable idea.
