Contact #1 Expert in Industry
I emailed the support email for Apple, trying to be put into contact with someone. I received no response.
Contact #2 Expert in Market
I emailed the owner of a local phone repair business here in Gainesville. After waiting a week, I didn't receive a response.
Contact #3 Supplier to Industry
I emailed the support email for the company Gorilla Glass in hopes of being put into contact with someone to critique my idea, however I did not receive a response.
Reflection
Ultimately, this was a learning experience for me. I now know how hard it is to make connections when just going out on a whim and trying to contact people. This has differed from my networking experiences in the past by not receiving any type of response at all. Moving forward, I actively make more connections when they visit UF for events and be sure to remain in constant contact with them.

This way I will not have to worry about sending emails to people that have no idea who I am, and I will have a better chance at succeeding.
Hey Brachari,
ReplyDeleteI can see you put a lot of time and effort in this project as did I. We both to seem to have a hard time getting touch with our resources. It was super frustrating to tried to get these people to respond to some my questions. Showed me how difficult it was to get the information I needed.
