1-27-17 ChromaKey Update


     How well have you stayed on task?
1. I have stayed on task for a good amount of this week. I have spent a lot of time working on the company logo and spent a good while coming up with the mission statement.
     After thinking about the management function, especially the leadership component, how well do you think you will lead your organization to success?
2. I feel that leading our business to success will take a lot of determination and confidence. We strive to become the leading brand in computer accessories, and we will always have that vision.
     What topics, if any, helped you with this portion of the plan?
3. I think just researching different brands of keyboards and mice really gave me some ideas on how we should make and market our products.
     What part of the plan did you absolutely nail?  Feel free to copy/paste that into your post.
4. I feel like I absolutely nailed the mission statement. I spent a good while thinking of how I could make our business look real good.

Mission Statement: The mission of ChromaKey is to create the world’s best and coolest looking custom keyboards and computer accessories people have yet to see. Founded on the belief that you should always look your best while playing your best, ChromaKey provides quality products that will suit your every need. ChromaKey is and always will be for gamers, by gamers.

     Are you on schedule? Behind schedule? Ahead of schedule?
3. I am on schedule so far with the business.
     On which aspect of this week’s tasks did you absolutely nail it?
4. I've been very good with giving my other partners good ideas about how we should market and operate our business. I helped them on deciding on a target market and discovering who our competitors are and how they are successful.

ChromaKey Success

We will succeed

I believe that our business ChromaKey will be successful. Why? Well let me tell you. The computer industry has grown immensely since the early 2000's, and is still growing. Most of the people who buy computers buy them for gaming. As a gamer myself I love having custom accessories to make my gaming setup look awesome. I want to feel and look cool while I'm playing games. I feel that with our vision and determination we can gain a foothold in the industry and become one of the main competitors selling gaming accessories. Working with my partners has been fruitful since they have been giving some good ideas on how our business should run, where we will place our headquarters, what our business will look like, and what we should sell. We've been bouncing ideas off of each other and have come up with the perfect plan.

Coming up with our name was probably the most difficult part of creating our business. We didn't know what would be best for a company like ours, so we continued to throw ideas around. After careful consideration, we decided on ChromaKey since it was related to our industry.

Finally, we chose to base ourselves in Nashville, a city that's close to our hometown. We decided on that so that we won't have to move or travel far to get to work each day.

Business Plan Competition

How it went down - What I think

Opening -

     I think that they got the opening down pat. They practiced it so many times I think they've got this one.

About the business -

They probably did well.

External Environment -

I think that they got what they needed said and left out anything that didn't.

Marketing Plan -

Target market - 

     I'm going to go ahead and say that they might have trouble on this one. Just because it's hard to define a target market in such a diverse area.

Marketing Mix -

     This will be tough since it was hard enough for them to describe the packaging system that the buffet uses. (I myself still don't understand it.) I hope that they can clearly explain how the customer will be buying our products and how much it will cost.

Discussion of business risks - 

     I think that they will get this one because they spent a lot of time thinking about how the company needs to combat other companies who also do similar things and what odds are stacked against us in the long run.

Quality of slideshow -

     I think they got bombed on this one. Personally looking at the slide, it didn't look too impressive. There were some grammar mistakes and the pictures laid out were implemented in a way that it looks like a high school presentation and not one that looks professional and business-like. I feel that they should have given the slide to me so that I could touch it up and make it look a little bit better. Also, I feel that the information placed onto the slides could be shortened, better phrased, and also bulleted so that it looked better. However, they did use the graphs and what not effectively so I believe that they will do well with that.

Quality of Oral Delivery - 

     While they were practicing, I noticed that their voices were indeed clear and engaging, but they were not persuasive to a point were I felt that they were trying to get me to buy their product. They did give good reasons as to why they are better than competitors, but their voices didn't sound too convincing. I hope they fix that in the actual presentation.

Q&A - 

Really this depends on the questions that they would be asked at the actual event. Some questions that were asked in practice were hard for them to answer, so I hope they thought of a lot more questions that might be asked so that they could answer it effectively and clearly without any awkwardness. To add to that, I hope that their voices were clear and assertive not questionable and doubtful.

Feasibility -

I believe that the judges will invest in our company based on what our team has told them. I have confidence that they were talented enough to persuade them to invest into our company.

Overall score: 8/10

A Bigger Overhaul

If you think that's it just wait. "It's gonna be big."
