Elevator Pitch No. 3





A reflection on the feedback you received from your last pitch: The feedback I got on the first one was basically to have more emotion and create a hook in the beginning to get people interested. I didn't get much feedback on the second one but I definitely took the feedback from the first one into account while doing this one.

What did you change, based on the feedback? When I recorded the first and second ones I was reading from a rough script so I could easily remember what I wanted to say. I also had to stop and rerecord a few times because I messed up. But this time, I had it mostly memorized and I didn't need a script at all. I also only needed to record it once, unlike the other times. Also, I added an opening hook which neither of my previous ones had and I, again, tried to show some more emotion to keep the audience interested and sell them on my idea. Overall, I was definitely more comfortable doing this one than I was doing the first two.

    Hey Emily!
    Great job on your post! I can see the progress you've made in the three elevator pitches, and I can tell that you are much ore confident in your speaking, as well as your idea. You showed more emotion and grabbed interest from the start of your pitch. If I were to hear this pitch at a forum or something similar, I would be intrigued to buy your product, which ultimately is your goal when speaking to a potential customer base. Keep up the good work!

    Hey Emily, great job with your pitch. I think you did a good job using more emotion in this post, so that is a great job listening to feedback Your script was also very good, and you did a great job presenting it. I think that you have a great idea for a product, and that your passion will make it happen.

    Hi Emily! I think you did an amazing job on your elevator pitch! I liked how you added a background on yourself so that I could get to know you better! It makes your pitch more personable and more memorable. I also think you did a really good job describing what your actual product is. Overall, you had good enthusiasm and a great pace of speech.

    Hi Emily!
    I think you did a great job with your pitch! I like that you were able to make the elevator pitch this time without having to read from a script. You seem a lot more comfortable because of it. I'm glad you were able to do this pitch once without messing up. I messed up at the end of my pitch when I did it, and I had to start from the beginning. I'm going to check out your food blog. It d=sounds awesome!!!

    Hi, Emily! Great job on this third elevator pitch! Brownie points (ha ha!) to you for keeping up with these! I'm really impressed that you were able to film this just once for this assignment! I usually try at least 10 times before filming an elevator pitch I'm satisfied with. I definitely see a lot of improvement since the first elevator pitch. My feedback for this one is to perhaps stand still a bit more; I noticed some swaying back and forth which was a little distracting. Also, while I could tell you are excited about this idea, still more vocal inflections and facial expressions would help to make this even better. But you're really improving a lot and I wish you all the best!

    Hey Emily, great job on the elevator pitch. You seemed more confident and clear in this third video. It has seemed that you got better at delivering your pitch over these iterations of posts. I like how you told a little about yourself in the elevator pitch, so we know how close this opportunity is to you and your social media life.

Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No. 2

Alternative Evaluation: In my interviews, I learned a lot about customer needs and wants when it comes to my app. It seemed they would be unwilling to buy this app, and would only download it if it were for free. I explained that it was my original plan to offer the app for free, and make revenue from ads and sponsorships from restaurants. One of them suggested to maybe even take that a step farther and make the app downloadable for free, but have additional in-app purchases for new features, which people could buy if they are interested. I thought this was a great idea and potentially could make for another successful part of the app. How/where do they buy: It was obvious to my interviewees that my app would be available for download on the App Store for iPhones or the Google Play store for Androids. They agreed that there would be no version of my product that would be sold elsewhere at this point. Post-purchase evaluation: The people I interviewed all agreed that the most import...

Final Reflection

The experience that sticks out the most to me in this class was the "What's your secret sauce?" assignment because it was really interesting to hear what the people closest to you think your biggest strengths and best qualities are. The most joyous experience for me in this class was figuring out more details about my app idea through these exercises and getting a better idea of what steps need to be taken if I actually want to create this app. I am most proud of myself for completing the elevator pitches effectively and stepping outside my comfort zone because that's not normally something I would enjoy doing. I think I have definitely developed somewhat of an entrepreneurial mindset by taking this class. This class has taught me the thought process that an entrepreneur goes through in order to develop a solid idea and execute it well. There are many components that come with thinking up an idea and actually making it feasible. To future students taking this cour...
