Independent Component 2

Literal

(a) I, Kevin Salazar, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.

(b) In my independent component I was allowed to help out with servicing the customers who come to Kore skate shop on the weekends.

Interpretive

In my 38 hours of my Independent Component I was able to get the feel of pressure because during the week Kore skate shop only gets 2-3 customers at the same time but during the weekend we have about 5-6 customers come at a time so this gave me experience on how to react to the pressure.

Applied

This experience helped me with learning how to treat each customer in order to show them they are important to the skate shop. The most important part to do with a customer is understand them before you try selling to them because all customers are different some have less knowledge in brands and others are easier because they know what they are purchasing. This helped me understand how to explain the product to the customer in a way to let them know that Kore carries good products. 

Independent Component 2

RC 15

The importance to managing a business is having prior knowledge in the business or Econ aspect of it because if you do not understand either of these concepts then managing the business gets that much difficult.
The most important thing to really gain success for the skate shop is learn all of the aspects of advertising and product placement.
Getting the word out about your shop makes more people visit the shop and if your shop is well maintained then you will be making sales thus making profit.
As of today most people in the business industry have gained lots of experience in making sales and knowing how to treat customers so that they buy from the store and keep them coming back.
Most of the factors that a manager should have precautions about is maintaining a well lite clean environment for the customer.
This prevents any injuries or lawsuits that can ruin the flow of the shop.

Answer #3

EQ = what is most important to managing a successful skate shop?

Answer 3 = One of the most important factor to reaching success is building a community feel, or a foundation for your skate shop to build upon.

Evidence = A skate shop is like building a house you need to have a strong foundation in order to succeed with any future plans you have for the shop. Building the community feel for the skates shop. Without a strong foundation the shop would not last against stronger franchise stores. Kore skate shop has come a long way to reaching success and having a foundation has only made the changes affect it in a positive way. If you do not have any prior knowledge in business and you make a bad decision it could end the dream with failure.
