The first person fits the domain expert. His name is Dustin Rowe and he loves to recycle just as much as I do. He is a friend of my dads and when my dad told him about my business he said he had to contact me. He told me that my market search was a good fit and gave me some advice on how to proceed with my business. Having Dustin in my network will help me trouble shoot any problems and I can bounce my ideas off of him as well.
The second person fits my market expert. Her name is Angela Ferry. She is an insurance sales rep and has a great understanding of my market. I met this lady through one of my friends cousins mother. I pitched her my business idea and told her what my market would consist of. She thought that my segment would really fit well with my business. Having her in my network could lead to gaining new potential clients in my segment.
The third expert would honestly be a plastic supplier. I did not see the need to contact them as they would see my business as trivial to their time.
This was actually a really cool exercise that helped me start to build my social capital. If I started my business I would have a good start on where to start because of this exercise. This did differ from all of the other networking exercises because I was able to establish a relationship with people that could help me start my business.
