Week Three - Finding a Company

Finding a Company

So, now that I have my idea and proceeding with the implementation of a network as my project. My next task is to find a business willing to listen to my ideas, allow me to come into their company and start spending their money.

So Monday I decided to create an advert which I could then advertise on social media and take to local business’s, I’ve never been known for being an artist so I kept my project poster brief and simple by creating it in MS PowerPoint.

I then contacted a local computer repair company (Cavalier Computer Services), and asked if they could post my advert on Facebook and twitter. Fortunately, they were happy to do this for me, I wasn’t until Wednesday that I had a response from a local company wanting to invest in some new IT hardware, they also required an emailing platform and printing. The company was actually a piano teaching business that teacher’s pupils to play the piano, I asked why would a teaching company need a small network setting up? The owner replied with… “We also sell piano’s, music and accessories, we also have a payment system we need setting up online, we are currently paper based but would prefer if we could send invoices via email.” I took some notes down of what the owner was after and arranged to set up a meeting for Sunday morning (29^th October 17), in my next post I will be able to update the blog with exactly what the owner of the piano company is after, we will be able discuss costings and time frames.
