After being employed at a software sales firm for over 20 years, my father was fired from his job. He got a second one soon enough but resigned from that one before even being there for a year to start a business of his own alongside a partner he had worked with prior to this. They opened up a sales consultation firm; they would sell the software from the company he had initially worked for but being outside of the company now, they could also sell a secondary product that when combined together could significantly streamline the sales process of the companies that purchased the software. Currently, they are looking for other software that further improve upon the products they sell.
Rather than simply offering a product, my father attempts to offer solutions. He troubleshoots the business that he plans to sell to, identifies how his product can provide solutions and promote growth, and presents a report of estimated gains as well as how the products will expand alongside the companies success.
I enrolled in ENT 3003 primarily for the continuation of my IA minor. I enjoy some level of creativity and problem solving which I believe this class can provide.
Hey Ana!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story. I love that your father turned an unfortunate experience into a catalyst to jump start a brand new company. Sounds like your father is a great influence to have in your life and Im sure having the motivation of your dads story and your problem solving skills are a great recipe for success as an entrepreneur yourself.
