1) The expert in my industry I talked to is Alex Giorgetti. He went to school with a friend of mine and he is the son of the Luxembourgish construction company Giorgetti. They have been working in construction for several years and the company has major ties to the government which gives them all the projects of constructions of government-funded buildings.
2) I would fill the slot of the domain expert in the industry with this person since for the construction of trams, I would need an expert in construction overall.
3) I never knew the person personally but I have a friend who went to school with him and she introduced me to him.
4) I never did a favor to the person I just talked to him about a possible business plan in which he might be interested.
5) Alex is on the board of directors of Giorgetti which gives him a lot of influence into the company overall. I will need for my business idea most definitely a construction company that I can trust and I would definitely like it if this company could be in my team.

1) Javier Enrique Garavito is an expert in the market. He has traveled to various cities due to his line of work and ties to several governments, he has made contacts through all around the world.
2) He would fill the slot of the domain on an expert on the market since he has ties to several governments and in order for me to construct a tram in any city, I need certifications from several cities and government workers.
3) This person is a close relative of mine and I contacted him on a family reunion.
4) Since we are family I just asked him for his opinion and if he would want to join my business project.
5) Including him in my project would be a key move since it would allow me to talk directly to the people I need the approval of constructing a tram.

1) CAF industries would be an important supplier in my industry.
2) This company would fill the slot of the domain is an important supplier in my industry.
3) A few years ago a recruiter looking for internships came to my high school a couple of years ago and I still had the phone number of that person.
4) The recruiter expects from me to keep him notify about my business project since they would love to keep receiving new projects in the entire world.
5) Since I my business plan is to eliminate traffic with the construction of trams, I need a reliable company who constructs trams and after analyzing past works from this company, I would want them to include in my business idea.
Reflection: As far as I am concerned I would say that this experience was challenging since I was nervous at the beginning of sharing my business idea with people I was not too familiar with and I would not have wanted from them to make fun of my project.
It's always a good thing to have connections. This reminds me of the old saying" It's not what you know it's who you know." When you would meet with him it is important to explain to him what is in it for him. In order to use his connections you need to explain how he would benefit from it.
ReplyDeleteAlexandro,
ReplyDeleteI am honestly amazed by your connections. The ones that you currently have seem to work seamlessly into the market you are looking to exploit. I am a bit confused with Mr. Garavito, as you stated that he was an “expert” but did not provide proof other than stating that he has “ties to several governments”. Just expand on his background more, that way you can better show how he is an expert. Overall, fantastic work.
