Person #3-
I was unable to contact someone who is a supplier in the industry I am trying to enter. It used to be much easier to sell CD's or albums but with the accessibility these days, I was unable to find someone who sells music subscriptions.
Reflect - This experience showed me how easy it is to gain valuable information. It also showed me the benefits of having mentors who are experts in an industry. The smartest people are the ones who are not afraid to learn from others. This activity helped me realize that.
Hi, there! Networking through friends, colleagues, or family members can be very beneficial! It’s like the connection is already halfway established and can make getting in touch with an expert much easier than if you were to look a stranger up online. I’ve noticed other people have had difficulties contacting a supplier for this assignment. As they tend to fall into associated fields rather than the field you’re investigating directly, locating someone to talk to is more difficult. The only thing that might be helpful that I could think of is maybe someone that works in talent management or booking as they may have knowledge on the process of getting songs on streaming platforms.
