Elevator Pitch No. 3

-
The Pitch:


 My Reflection:
Most of the comments that I received on my 2nd Elevator Pitch complemented me on being more animated and excited during my pitch. This was one of my goals and I think that I accomplished it, but still had room to grow. In my 3rd try, I tried to be even more excited about my product and really try to appeal to the audience. Another comment that I received was that my hook was well executed. I think that this was an important change between my 1st and 2nd elevator pitch, and was something that I maintained and tried to further animate in my 3rd pitch. The biggest change that I made for my 3rd pitch was trying to cut out some unnecessary information. My 2nd pitch was around 90 seconds, but I was able to shorten my 3rd pitch to around 75 seconds by making sure not to repeat information or provide information that was unnecessary for an elevator pitch. I focused more on the key details of my product and my marketing plan in order to make a better appeal to investors and customers. I think that I became more comfortable making this pitch each time that I recorded it and I believe that this feeling was portrayed through my confidence and excitement in the 3rd pitch.

    Alex,
    Good job on your presentation. I really like how you drive the idea of your product by touching on peoples concern for the environment. You have a great idea and with everyone being pressured into being eco-friendly in the country this helps not only you but the people you are trying to market to. I feel as though I mention to everyone that a lot of the ideas that I have herd in the class are touching on topics that California has already made into law, and I feel your business idea would thrive out here on the west coast where everyone is super eco-conscious.

    Hey Alex,

    I really enjoyed your elevator pitch! I thought you were very direct, informative, and passionate throughout your entire presentation. I think you did a great job of being very excited about your product while also cutting out some information that was not essential to the elevator pitch. Overall, I think you did a great job with your elevator pitch and if you were in a real setting, your product would be very successful!

    This was a really great elevator pitch and I like how you said The biggest change that I made for my 3rd pitch was trying to cut out some unnecessary information.

This course is not for the person who wants an easy-A, no effort course. Introduction to Entrepreneurship requires you to constantly communicate with other people and to question yourself. You are forced to constantly rack your brain for ideas and to implement them in the real world. In order to keep up with the requirements for the course, I had to take notes every day. Not necessarily on the lectures, but rather on the thoughts that popped into my brain throughout the week. I also had to dedicate a large amount of time to finding and talking to different people. I had to work on my social skills in order to be comfortable contacting and approaching strangers, and had to work on my memory and presentation skills. This course is not for the faint-hearted. I considered dropping the course many times due to the high-level of rigor that it requires. If I am being completely honest, the reason that I did not drop this class is because of the fees that I would have paid, but I am glad tha...

My Bug List

My Bug List: When the Starbucks at 13th and 16th moved to their new location, they added a drive-thru, and now when I order my drink inside, it takes much longer. The employees are encouraged to get drinks to the people in the drive-thru faster than those inside. At the intersection of 13th and University Ave, it is nearly impossible to make a right turn because it is a “no turn on red” intersection and when the turning light is green, pedestrians are also allowed to cross the road. You have to wait for all of the students to cross the road even though you have a green light because pedestrians have right of way. Then, by the time all of the students have crossed, the turning light is now red.  It takes an incredibly long time to pick up my boss’ son from car pick at Newberry Elementary School. All of the children have to stay inside because they say that it is always too hot or too cold for them to sit outside, so they have teachers outside with speakers to yell the na...

Forming an Opportunity Belief

Forming an Opportunity Belief Original Belief: The citizens of Gainesville would benefit from public parks being accessible and well-lit at night. Original Belief Explanation: There are very few public parks that are available for use at night because the majority of nature parks and recreational facilities in Gainesville close at dusk. The few fields that do have lights after dark are on the University of Florida campus or are nearby to it, which appeals to students but not the majority of the Gainesville community. These fields are also only lit when classes are in session for UF students and are not always accessible to non-students. I think this is a problem because many people have to work until the evening and when they get off work, they are unable to access these areas. This can make it difficult to find areas to exercise without paying for a gym membership or risking being in a dimly lit area where you could potentially get injured or threatened. I believe that because o...
