Week 9

This week was focused on change.  From the case study we discussed, to the assignments given, we learned about change, and how change can be good.  As one that doesn’t like change, I have learned that life is about change, and if there is a new way to do something, there needs to be change.  With business improvement process, change means being more effective and efficient, which in turn will boot customer satisfaction.  We need to be trying to improve and progress every day, and change is a part of that process.

I continued to work on the $100 challenge this week.  I focused some on marketing and getting the word out.  I linked my blog to Facebook.  While it wasn’t as successful as I had hoped, I did get two more mini shoots scheduled for this week, and one that can’t schedule until after the project is complete.   Word of mouth is also a great form of marketing.  One of the girls I worked with a couple of weeks ago re-posted my link to her friends to get my name out there.  She made the comment she would recommend me to anyone.  A happy customer is one that will tell others about you.  Recommendations and referrals are very beneficial to business.  The marketing part of this process is the most difficult for me.  But without marketing, there wouldn’t be business.
