Socialization – Recruiting and questioning
I tried to contact Ammar from Jordan today, as he was recommended by Tom Adelstein of the Lxer, and seems to have the skill set and age we would be looking for, but he did not respond to my e-mail nor was available on Skype.
I spent the day asking friends about their motivation and feelings about buying Original cds, and what kept them from buying more. To no surprise price is too high, but they actually buy Originals for the sake of knowing they have the “Real Thing”. They also mentioned the superior quality of Originals, and without discussing the truth of that statement, that clearly means we must reinforce that perception. We thought about mentionning “Quality Originals” at a low price.
One caveat though is that the lack of casing drew most of them back. We should try to work this issue out, either by stating they keep their own and just switch, or by insisting on the reduced bulk it involves, or selling or sending out one for every whatever they get (whinch could be a premium service).
I also received from my father today a book on business which supposedly changes one’s view of it, plus ! the way cool new iPod Nano, which is the size of two fingers, and only half the depth ! and comes with a color screen. The best part is that there is written behind it my name and Swophit.com
Finally we thought about prompting users to put some of their stuff back in the system, to encourage a Netflix behaviour, or do it automatically after a while, with a flagging of sorts, that they might have to confirm. That would work out to a sort of Tellico.
