Chapter 5: The team message
Hi!:D
I have just finished reading chapter 5, and found it very useful in my situation.
As I've written in assignment 1, our section is gonna have a shop in ICU festival. Now, I'm really concerned about it... Actually, there are three shops which will sell the same food as ours, fried icecream! So, I guess it will be very tough to sell it enough to gain profit :(
And I thought we need to make some additional value, such as low price, or cute decoration, but I'm not confident wethere it's possible...
So far, I'm in that situation like just being anxicious, but this text taught me many important things!
First of all, I need to share what's happening now with my section mates. Nowadays, each of us is so busy that rarely come together, and there were few responses even when I sent E-mails to them about this festival. (This is the only thing I can't agree with the text, high-tech tools can make bonds as strong as face-to-face communication...) So I was like giving up and thinking by myself, but I'm gonna send a mail again and hope that someone will give me any solution! (I'm getting positive now, thanks to this text :]) Also, some of us plan to come together to prepare decorations for the exterior of the shop on Monday, so I want to share information face-to-face at the time. I'm looking foward that!
Therefore, what I need to do is sharing information with including the value statement, "enjoying the time of reunion", at the same time, taking care of myself :)
*And I've found one more interesting thing. I'm working at a concert hall as a part time job. And we aways have a meeting after concert, and share any small problems happend at the hall. Our boss really listen to what we are saying, and she always say that "OK, we need to improve this point". I believe she is a very nice leader because of good information sharing, and her attitude to listen to others carefully and to try to make any improvement. I respect and like her very much♡
Hi Sayaka,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your posting, and I am so pleased that you are finding the text so applicable to your situation with your food booth. I hope that by communicating your concerns to your section mates that you can come up with a good plan for distinguishing yourself from your competition and making a profit (otherwise it won't be much of a party afterward).

Hi, Sayaka!
ReplyDeleteI am Haruna^^ Before, we met in the toilet and talked at the first time! Right? hahaha Thanks for that time☆
I am belong to PAPOOSE(tennis club), and before the members had said that they will sell the same type of icecream as you in ICU festival!
But now, we decided to sell different menu.
If you think PAPOOSE is also one of your rivals, do not worry^^ I hope your section gets great profit!
