Social
Media Advertising experience: My experience with social media and reaching
people comes from my time volunteering at church on the social media team. Each
week I was challenged to come up with posts to keep people engaged. Learning
how to combine a photo with the right phrasing is a trick I will not soon
forget. It only takes one post to get noticed.
Networking
abilities: I’m the type of person that looks for opportunities to network. I do
my best to not make it so noticeable, like crack a joke or casually talk about
a topic the person I am networking with knows about. It has lead me to
different places, and I’ve met a lot of people who continue to help me on my
career journey. I believe this skill will beneficial when discussing this
venture.
Network
of Mom friends: As a mom, I had a network of mom friends. We discuss different
topics associated with being a mom – the good, the bad and the ugly. We also
discuss how difficult it can be to meet the demands of life, our families and
our careers. It was talking with my network of mom friends that this idea came
to be.
Determination:
Once my mind is set, I don’t stop until I achieve my goal. Sometimes, I get
tunnel vision, or even become obstinate while trying to achieve my goal(s).
My
husband has the financial smarts: In all things that are financial, I seek my
husband’s input about what to do, or if I should even bother. At one time, I
considered having a cupcake side business. After he did the numbers, I would be
operating at a loss. He would be the guy to help me figure out the costs versus
the profit to decide whether or not to pursue this venture.
Efficiency:
I’m all about efficiency. It’s work smarter not harder. I don’t like doing more
than what is necessary to complete a task. It’s a skill that would come in
handy in a transportation type business.
Customer
Service experience: After being in retail for many years during my youth, I
learned the value of the customer. In any business, you want customers to keep
coming back. In order to keep them coming back, you must treat them well and
give them a product they cannot refuse. Learning how to treat customers was a
great lesson which I apply to every encounter I experience today.
Knowledge
of the customer base: As a mom, I understand moms. I understand the demands
that come with the title. I also understand that although we want to give our children
every opportunity we can, we need help to do it. Because I understand this, I
am able to give moms a product they would rely heavily on.
Relatable:
As a mom, I need help. I need help getting my daughter to dance class, soccer
practice, play dates, and every other activity she is involved in. Although I
have help, there are moms out there that do not have it. If I didn’t have help,
I would look for a service like this one to help me.
Rare:
It’s not every day you find a service that can drive your child everywhere they
need to go. Parents would have to commit to hiring a nanny to do this, however,
with this service, there is no commitment to a nanny. You don’t have to hire a full-time
driver either. All you must do is choose which day/time you need your child to
be picked up and dropped off and it’s done. One simple step. Even better, you
can watch the entire ride on your phone to ensure you’d child is behaving, the
driver is behaving and your child makes it to their
destination safely.
I
believe my most important resource is my network of mom friends. By
consistently speaking with them about this venture, I am able to get honest
feedback about this idea. I am also able to get honest suggestions and
recommendations to ensure this service is something every mom will use.
