Today we’d like to introduce you to Helen A Altamirano Perez.
Hi Helen, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I used to work in retail jobs as a cashier, and cellphone repair stores as a technician. My brother had experience in the hardwood industry and I did some research about it that not many women were involved in this field by 2016. At that moment I started to look for names for business, a catching name that people will not forget and will keep in their mind. Also, small marketing search to find my potential customer in order to go with the mission and vision of the new company. Once I set up the business name and license. It comes to the next step to knock so many doors to get some commercial jobs as a new company name is a little bit harder to get hired because in the beginning, nobody knows your company name. You can have so many years of experience working under another name but your own business name doesn’t have that recognition to get some doors open. This is the point where entrepreneurs start from cero, to build the name of the business to get well known and get a place in the market.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
As entrepreneurs, we learnt that we must define our goals and marketing plan. It’s important to write it down but we have to be clear that we will go through so many obstacles. The road has never been smooth because it never runs in a straight line to our dream goal. The biggest struggle for a new business is to get customers, because as new business doesn’t have a profile. The majority of the customers lookup for a company already established and popular in the market. I highly appreciate those customers who trusted us and gave us the opportunity to do their work and help us to create a niche market.
