Trans Java Expedition #2 (Day 2)

We are going back to Jakarta yeay! Still, we got another missions to be accomplished today which is FOODBIZ! We will tell about our discussion related to foodbiz later. But first thing first, we gotta find money for paying toll and gasoline.
So before we go to our first destination for today which is Jasamarga Office Semarang, we deciced to stop by rest area km 538b and sell our inventory and sell it. Luckily, we got money around 400k rupiahs to buy e-toll and gasoline later.

Together we will survive! Fighting!

Visit Company Jasamarga

Our next agenda today is visiting Jasamarga office branch Semarang to have meet and greet witn senior roadster.  In this ocassion we got a lot of advice about working in Jasamarga from fellow senior roadsters. How Jasamarga always value attitude and  ask us, the jet roadster candidates, to get ready of putting our dedication in Jasamarga and working hard. In the end, they give us two questions to be answered in the form of video. First question is about why we wants to be part of Jasamarga. Second question is about the improvement of Jasamarga for better customer satisfaction in the future. We gotta make video to answer that. Okay. Fighting.

After attending meet and greet, we are instructed to go to Jasamarga office Semarang-Batang to playing Foodbiz game. But small incident happened hehe. We are supposed to stop by Kalikangkung gate but we miss the stop and drive too far by 1 kms! Our driver suggest to drive the backwards but we think it is too dangerous so we called Jet Roadster admin. He suggest us to take a turn and open the barricade hehe.

Next we arrived and playing games! In thia games, our strategy is to serve healthy food and modified the menu to attract the customers. We decided to serve roasted chicken and telur padang as our main signature. Beside that we also serve special custom menu for customers such as babat goreng penyet. For the price, we decided it by calculating the cost and margin that we want, but we try to stick to the rules of price. We spare the capital by around 600k rupiahs as reserve fund.

Realization: a lot of customers are really interested in our special menu of roasted chicken. But our price is to low compared to another group. Because of that, we got loss in this games hehe. It is okay, we still learn a lot how to be more specific in defining target and adaptive in every situations.

It is the end of our #transjavaquest activity! Thank you ka Irres, all observes, all comittes that always taking care of us in this journey. It is been an unforgottable experience!
See you!

Trans Java Expedition Journey #1 (Day 2)

Hello guys!

Come back again with us hehe

We will explain that how amazing this journey in day 2.

First, we feel very happy becauser we going back to Jakarta yeay! Still, we got another missions to be accomplished today which is FOODBIZ! We will tell about our discussion related to foodbiz later. But first thing first, we gotta find money for paying toll and gasoline.
So before we go to our first destination for today which is Jasamarga Office Semarang, we deciced to stop by rest area km 538b and sell our inventory and sell it. Luckily, we got money around 400k rupiahs to buy e-toll and gasoline later.

Trans Java Expedition Journal #3 (Day 1)

Heyho Guys!

Finally we arrived at Pit Stop 2, and on the way to Pit Stop 3!

This is so amazing!!!! Interesting!!!

We will tell you about our journey in Pit Stop 2. So keep reading our journal ya guys!

First....

We really come to pit stop to with almost no money. It was because before coming to pit stop, we stop by to top up the e toll for 250k. At pitstop 2, we put 500k as our minimum standard, at least we survive to buy driver dinner and gasoline to Surabaya. It turns out that we exceed our expectations. The first 10 minutes we arrived, we had a discussion about the target market (well, more like “guess” the target market at that rest area), then our observed, kak irres, asked how we’re doing and she actually bought a couple of electronic stuffs from us! We then divided the selling practices into 2 : a. Merchant/UMKM b.Family in a group (with the packages). For family market we were straight offering to a group of local tourist that have a dinner in front of their bus. We’re so lucky that some families were into our items and they bought some for themselves. Meanwhile, for wholesaler market, we offers our products to UKM center. Moreover, we’re very lucky because 2 merchants/UMKM bought a lot of items in bundles from us! Our strategy focused on something that we called “offering gradually”. It works by offering one item that leads to other items. We were also persuade our customers with friendly manners, by building rapports with them. We’re also very grateful that one of the merchants actually made us free orange juice and popmie!

From this 2nd pitstop, we surely got a lot of insights. We realized that it takes not only strategy, but also flexibility when it comes to marketing. We also found out that friendly manner is also the main key of marketing.
