Hi Mike,
I agree about the lighting. Especially in the first scene talking about the main speakers. I had a lamp pointed at me, but I do see that it clearly wasn't enough lighting. Thanks!
Hello Charlie, here are the answers to your questions:
What is your intended customer base?
The same kinds of customers I currently have. Mostly bands, but also anyone else who needs a pa system for a public or private event.
Do you have existing customers now?
Absolutely. This is my full time job and it pays all my bills very nicely. Also, this video was put together more for fun and show than anything else. I really don't need more customers and I am not relying on this video to get me some. I know I will make more videos showing my services in the future. This was just my first attempt.
Do you ever rent gear from other Sound Co.s to augment your current gear?
Nope, never. So far, I haven't needed to in order to fulfill the types of jobs I get.
Do you think that this video could limit you as to what types of customers and gigs you can sign?
Maybe. I don't know yet. What I do know is that this video does show what I have to offer in terms of gear. What it doesn't show is all the satisfied customers I currently have and my abilities as a live sound engineer. Working on that.
Do you plan to grow the Company and it's stock of equipment?
No. I have almost too much business already. I turn down more jobs than I currently take and I plan to keep it as a one man operation.
Do you have a Business plan?
No. I don't need one. I am in business now and business is good.
Do you have a Business mentor?
Other than my CPA, not really. He's all I need though, imo. He takes my quarterly tax payments and files my taxes for me. That's all I need help with right now.
Someone that has Business operating and growth experience?
I don't want to grow. I want this to remain a one man show. I do upgrade all the time and I will continue to upgrade in the future, but I do not want this company to grow into anything bigger. At one time I thought I did, but after really thinking it all over and what would be involved, I decided I didn't want that. I am very happy with what I am doing now. I don't know if I would be as happy if I grew this company into something bigger where I had to manage employees and store several more systems. Nope, not for me. I'll pass.
