Strategy:
- I am going to enter a meeting room before the start of a meeting
- I will approach the first 5 people I see in that meeting room
- I will say: "Hi, would you like a dollar? You can use it to get a snack later from the vending machine!"
- My plan is to give them an incentive for attending the meeting. After the meeting (or during a break they are given) they can treat themselves to a snack from the vending machine.
- I don't think I'll be able to give away any of the dollar bills -- or maybe just one!
Reflections:
- To be honest, I was dreading this assignment. I did not want to walk up to random people and try to give them money. It was just as hard as I thought it would be to give away the dollars. What I found were that people are actually really nice and don't want to take your money but they will be a good sport for you when you're trying to complete an assignment!

Hi Erica, I like your approach to this "free money" assignment. I would think that you would have some takers with that approach. It is a little frightening to try and give money to random people, especially if they don't appear to be in need. Unfortunately the links did not take me to a video, so I can't comment on that. Here is a link to my post…http://acwilliams83.blogspot.com/2016/02/free-money.html
ReplyDeleteHey Erica, Great idea on giving free money away. I wish I would have thought about that! What a great approach. You provide the customer with a need and then supply them with the means to fulfill that need. Great entrepreneurial spirit and great work. :)
