Interviewing Customers No. 2

After last weeks interviews with random students, I found the general opinion to be of people in favor of my opportunity.  With that, this week I interviewed another five people with more specific questions to my opportunity for entrepreneurship.  I changed my questions to cover the areas needed if my opportunity was going to become a reality.  With that, here are the new set of questions:

1. How many rides do you think the average person should use to receive value from this service?
2. Do you think there should be multiple levels of this service?
3. How quickly do you expect them to be there to pick you up with this paid subscription service?
4. Would you like it to be linked to other cab services, such as Uber or Lyft?

Here are the students responses:

Now that I have ten interviews under my belt I can say that I feel very confident with my opportunity.  At first I thought this would just be some simple idea, but now I feel that it is something that could generate great feedback and usage.  With how many people like to use taxi services, it seems like a great venture to explore!  Some tips I have for interviewing customers are:

• Be happy when asking the questions about your opportunity!  It makes things awkward if you cant even be excited about your opportunity.
• Be confident asking the questions about your opportunity!  Make sure you know the stuff you're talking about otherwise there's no point in doing these interviews.
• Be and active listener when asking the questions about your opportunity!  Take note of what people say.  They just might have a response that you had not thought of or did not expect.
