Finding the client

Today in the morning we visited Palloilukeidas to find out if we could make the project for them. Unfortunately, the person who we talked with (it was some sort of manager) did not agree to be part of the project. His explanation was they will have soon computer based time management system and they didn't need another one. We tried to explain that we won't implement the system but we will design how it should be like but it didn't help much. It was a big pity because we saw their current paper based system and it looked like a perfect example for this project.

Monika and Pawel also paid a visit to the hairdresser and beauty salon located in Science Park. Unfortunately, the woman at the hairdresser did not speak English well and there could be some serious language barrier when doing the project. At the beauty salon, the owner was concerned about her customer data and wasn't eager to participate in the project.

We are a bit concerned that finding a customer will not be such an easy task. I have contacted today my friend who is a photographer and has her own company. She works mostly with freelancing tasks. Let's see what she answers.

Today we have also distributed the responsibilities in our project. Monika ZL is project manager, Pawel is analyst and Monika M is designer.
