Free Money
For this assignment, I am going to walk around my apartment complex and talk to people that are there. I will approach whoever I see there. I will say something along the lines of "Hey you look like you could use a dollar". I plan on just saying my opening line, hopefully handing them the dollar, and then seeing what their response is. Out of five attempts I expect to get three out of five people to take the dollar.
I found this assignment to be pretty easy. After having to do three rounds of interviews with random people in the previous weeks, I did not find this to be difficult to do. Giving the dollar away was not too difficult. I was able to give it away to four of the five people I went up to. Some assumptions I made about the people I planned on talking to were that they would be weirded out when I walked up to them to give them free money. This was not a wrong assumption. People were definitely a little caught off guard when I walked up to them. Other than that I did not make any other assumptions and kept an open mind about the people I would go up to. In all , I found this assignment to be a good assignment that did help me practice deliver customer value as well as convey a compelling vision.

Hey Matthew,
ReplyDeleteIt was really tough for me to give people a dollar as well. The exercise is great because it shows that even giving away money is not that easy. In order to successfully give a random person something of value, you have to assure them that what you are giving them has that value, which I think is what the professor was trying to show us in this assignment. Great blog! I enjoyed watching your videos! Check out my blog: dylankojo.blogspot.com
Hello! So I just gonna guess and say that those were your roommates/friends, tell them not to quit their day jobs, they don't make the best actors. If it was real, more power to you, great job. If it wasnt, I dont really care, so A for effort. To be honest one of my recordings was fake too, and in fact, the two people in the hallway were actually my friends who gave me the dollars, because I am broke and have no dollars:( Thankfully the other three people I asked didn't want to take their money either and they got their dollars back. Yay! anyway, think you already checked mine out, but here is the linkhttp://letmespeakwithmgmt.blogspot.com/2016/02/free-money.html#comments
ReplyDeleteHey Matthew, I think you're right about how much easier this assignment was than our last one, interviewing a multitude of people. I was a little confused with the purpose but I like what Dylan has to say about it. Here's my linK:http://rdavidshay3.blogspot.com/2016/02/free-money.html
