Before and after

      Over the years our company has improved a lot.  From product to operations, logos, marketing and etc.  Our experiences taught us so much.  We started at nothing, we were disorganized before, we have no idea to run a business but now we could be on ourselves working on our own.  We are so privileged to have this kind of education.  Having the best mentors, knowledge and experience gave us the leverage to showcase our skills and passion.  Little by little we gained something new and improved in a lot of ways.  The bazaars, lectures, product development, business venture gave us the entrepreneurial skills we need to have in having a business.  Clearly, we have proved what we are capable of achieving our goals and winning awards inside and outside the college.  

     We would like to thank the people who've been there for us throughout our business venture.  Our family, mentors and friends.  They were our inspiration to work hard and reach this far.  In this entry you will see how we improved and changed now,  From our logo to our product.  We were first known as Sisig Sa-Wrap! but since DTI wouldn't allow us to have the first name registered, we have decided to use Sisig Sarap as our business name.  It is followed "by Pocrios" since they required us to be more specific about the name.  Pocrios is our last names, Polinag, Cruz and del Rio.

Issues/ problems the company experienced



A business can’t be successful without facing a problems and trials because this helps the business to be strong.  The business Sisig Sarap also experience many problems and trials as they go along the journey.  Some of these problems are on meeting the customers want, marketing the product , financial and the main problem is spoilage of ingredients. Business prioritizes its customers because this brings them to the top. Customers have inconsistent behavior so we can’t tell when they like our product and when they don’t and look for something new. In this kind of problem business should always be prepared to meet customer’s behavior so we will not lose them. 

                Marketing always become a problem of entrepreneurs because it’s not easy to market the product. Like in our product, there are businesses the same as our and sometimes we have same strategy so we always need back up plan to market our product differently and will stand out from our competitors. Financial became our problem when we lose profit. This scenario happened when sometimes we bought many supplies and our customers lessen as we expected. The main problem of food business is the spoilage and this happened to us when we bought ingredients and no one will buy it. I believe problems and trials give to us because we can solve it.
