Talk about a small successful company you know, you should say
– How do you know about this company?
– How long do you know them?
– Why do you think they are successful?
Model answer
Ever since I was little, my parents have been running their own business. They’re quite entrepreneurial people and have found it more satisfying to be self-employed instead of having a traditional job.
They run a wedding photography business. Both of them have a passion for photography. In fact,
that’s exactly how my parents met — through photography. They were both
skilled photographers that bonded over this shared passion. They took
it a step further and turned it into a business.
I
think they stated it a few years before I was born, so the business has
been running for more than a couple of decades now and has earned quite
a good reputation in the local community. Because of this, a lot of
their business doesn’t come from advertising but from word of mouth. Couples that have been over the moon
with their photos have told their friends and family about my parents’
business. When someone they know is getting married, my parents’
business is one of the first to be recommended.
Over the years
they’ve expanded the business and employed other photographers. They’ve
also opened up a bridal shop that’s stocked with both fashionable and
classic wedding dresses. My mother can sell ice to eskimos and just about any bride that walks into her store ends up buying something.
I
think it’s really awesome that they’ve managed to build such a
successful and long-lasting business. I know they’ve gone through some tough times with it and their resilience and determination has really paid off. They’ve taught me a lot about entrepreneurship and have always encouraged me to do my own thing, rather than be pressured into getting a traditional job.
