Leif Anderson is the CEO and Founder of Rhino Assembly Corporation. I found his advice can help anyone who who is trying to start their own business and deal with difficulties, no matter what type of business it may be.
1. In your job, what are some challenges you have to deal with in relating to “production” people?
They are less concerned with quality control than they should be. Meeting a certain productivity rate puts a lot of pressure on them.
2. Can you tell me a war story, or a story of when something went badly wrong, or seemed like it was going to fall apart, but then ended up working out [or didn’t work out].
It is important to look at a mistake you make in business as an opportunity. If you do a good job of taking care of a problem, then your customer knows that if they ever buy anything from you in the future and there are issues, you will be there to support it.
3. Do you have any advice for a person starting out in the business, someone who is about to graduate?
Be persistent and ask for what you want. If you are ever interviewing for a sales position, always ask for the job at the end of each and every interview.
