Reflexion about Yvette's interview

For the last potential customer interview, I was the one who was in charge to film Yvette while she was interviewing the potential customer.  It's crazy to see that Yvette, the very quiet student, could do such a nice job!  Because of her, we obtained 2 signatures : the interviewed girl and her friend.

We first got out of the school without really knowing where we were going with this interview.  We had the idea to stay in the school area, because there are a lot of students in this neighbourhood and we did not have that much time.  We started walking, walking walking, for at least 15-20 minutes.  We had no idea what to do because the first few people we approached didn't really want to talk to us.  Then we saw that mexican girl, and started talking to her.  All the nervousness went away.  We had a very good interview, with nice results.

I think Yvette did a very nice job with this interview.  However, there are some points to improve for the next interview, if ever there is one.  I think at first she was a bit shy, either because of the fact that I had to film her, or because she was shy to talk to a stranger.  After a few minutes of recording, everything was alright.  I also think that next time, she should make the interview shorter, because not everyone has a lot free time and can answer during 10 minutes to an interview.  They got off topic at a few moments, which is great because we had the chance to learn even more about the potential customer.

On the other hand, I think that the fact that the potential customer was a spanish speaker, Yvette felt more confident and relaxed.  They spoke about a lot of things before talking about the main topic which was the intent to buy the Fabulyzer device.  We learned a lot about the girl's habits, about what she thinks about sports, about her free time etc.  It was a very nice experience for both of us, because even if I didn't have the chance to conduct an interview at this moment, I at least could film the scene and tell myself : OK, she's doing this and that wrong etc, and then, for my next interview, I will know what to do and what to avoid.
