What stuck out to me the most from Steve Jobs keynote was his slow/deliberate delivery really making sure the crowd was able to come out with the idea for themselves even if he had to walk them there. This was a great way to prove there was a "need" for the iPhone. #RHUB290
This chart is a comparison between different business entities. It will be useful for our group project because it is an extensive list of both requirements as well as advantages of each model. In the early stages of creating a company this is crucial to understand. #RHUB290
One of the main reasons one would create a problem statement is to lay out exactly what goals are trying to be met and what factors are hindering this. A clear problem statement can be understood even by those with absolutely no inside knowledge of the company/problem. #RHUB290
Each sample report was structured in a fairly similar way. First there was a cover page immediately followed by a summary of the issue that is being reported. Each report also included a table of contents and were able to include relevant charts/graphics throughout. #RHUB290
Based on my own experiences with social media, it is hard to put out ads in a neutral fashion. For example, many brands receive backlash from both the far right and the far left depending on what kind of statement they put out, making it beneficial to just stay neutral. #RHUB290
After reading "The Four-Letter to Selling Just About Anything" it was obvious that a balance of exciting information is imperative to keeping customers engaged. However, it is also possible for customers to lose interest if their is not enough of what they're expecting. #RHUB290
@MaleahMalhotra I agree! It was eye opening to see the examples of poorly designed websites and how much of an impact that has on the customer browsing your page. The Yale art page was a perfect example of how color scheme can even make the reader question the legitimacy of a website #RHUB290
While listening to the podcast "Your Website as a Cohesive Marketing Tool" I felt that one point that was stressed over and over was the fact that the website needs to be flashy enough to draw customers in but also straight forward enough for a smooth user experience. #RHUB290
@EmilioEA98 Emilio, I too found this very interesting because it shows how important a role formatting plays in gathering info. It is necessary for us to understand all the tools at our disposal to create more accurate searches, especially when the software is designed to help us. #RHUB290
While each of the market research resources is useful in its own right, the eMarketer tool specifically seemed to prove the easiest to use and most applicable. I thought Statista was equally useful however eMarketer provided background for the data they were providing. #RHUB290
I'm not sure if this already exists, but a service that seems relevant to my group would be an online publishing service. With more and more of our everyday lives becoming digitized a service that publishes only in an online medium seems both inevitable and lucrative. #RHUB290
@RosarioScappat1 I completely agree and it is equally as important to understand that any amount of persuasion can be treated like a sales pitch. The more you know about your audience or buyers, the more you will be able to directly appeal to and resonate with them. #RHUB290
@hudsonr99_ I noticed during our reading that it is actually not necessary to inform the applicant why they are not receiving the job which seems counterintuitive to me as well. It is easier for the applicant to understand what the employer may be looking for if feedback is provided #RHUB290
For my bad news letter I have chosen to write about my company informing them of budget cuts for the upcoming year. While this does not affect each individual as much, it's important to remember that when delivering bad news you must understand the listeners perspective. #RHUB290
The main thing to remember when writing any sort of persuasive message is to understand that it is a sales pitch, and it has to be convincing. The AIDA method of organization is a good outline on what you need to include in order to accomplish this. #RHUB290
Obviously nobody loves to receive bad news but like the reading says it is important to understand that how the news is going to affect the person you're communicating with and deliver it appropriately. Similarly, good news can be equally hard to deliver in some cases. #RHUB290
@WasabiSabi76 While I also found it essential about how formal both emails and letters should be, the Write for Business "email" article also mentioned how emails should be used as a quick, concise form of communication. I will also keep this in mind when writing formal emails. #RHUB290
Overall I think the resume package assignment has been helpful for me. I am still putting some touches on the final drafts of each work but it has really opened my eyes to how necessary it is to have and maintain a professional image all the way down to your application. #RHUB290
Before reading the provided articles I knew formatting was important, but I didn't realize how many different formats both formal letters/emails could have. This relates to our class because it shows that if our resumes do not look professional they will not be up to par #RHUB290
