Week 14 Very Short Interview w/ Entrepreneur #2

The initial interview was much more vague. I feel like that the entrepreneur I interviewed was much more open with me when I interviewed him the second time around. Unlike the beginning of the course, I was able to speak in more specific terms relating to business and entrepreneurship.

Interview w/ John Bonani, Founder & CEO of ISG Imaging
What would you say the biggest risk you take every day (in regards to your business)? 
Many, but one...Losing a large client

Who would you say your customer base is and has it evolved over the years?
Primary Customer base is advertising agencies and other print companies that do not do the specific service that we offer so we act as an extension or division  of their own business. And yes it has definitely evolved we used to deal with more end users and found it was better for us to deal with resellers

Has your understanding of your customers developed throughout the years?
Yes and understanding your customers needs is imperative to keeping that customer. 


----------------------------------------------------
Honestly, I don't think I've come that far in my discussion of entrepreneurship. The only thing that has changed is being able to refer to specific techniques and vocabulary when talking abut a method. When crafting my questions, I definently aimed at finding more specific answers. For example, I asked what detailed questions about the customer base. I've learned that an understanding of the customer base is extremely important and I'm really interested in an entrepreneur's journey to discovering that.

    Hello Emily,

    I really liked the first question you asked the entrepreneur, I think I may go back and ask my interviewee that same question. It's always a good idea to find out the risks of something you might be trying before you decide to do it, so I couldn't think of a better question to ask then what risks the person takes. I'm sorry you didn't come that far in your discussion of entrepreneurship, but at least you learned a little bit. You can check out my second interview in the link below.

    Emily,

    Great questions for your entrepreneur! One of the biggest parts about owning a business is understanding your customer and it is pivotal in the success of any business. I really liked where you were going with the questions by asking him mostly about his customer base. Keep up the good work and best of luck on finals! Feel free to check out my post here:
