2. Reflection on Feedback: As a whole, the people who commented on my pitch thought I did a good job. Although, out of the 3 people who commented on my first elevator pitch, only one person really critiqued my actual elevator pitch while the other two just agreed saying that my idea would be effective. I really valued the comment that critiqued my elevator pitch that said I should enunciate, articulate, and project more to keep the listener intrigued. I found this a little surprising but I realized that even if you have good content in your pitch, your delivery can make or break your pitch. I didn't get any feedback about my dress which I took as a positive sign because I was wearing a suit.
3. What I Changed: Based on no negative feedback from the content of my elevator pitch, I kept my wording pretty much the same because people felt like it got the idea of my business across well. On the other hand, I really tried to be more dynamic in my delivery with more gestures, movement, and enthusiasm in my voice. I tried to position the video better so there was more of my body in it so that I was able to do these gestures and move around.
James,
ReplyDeleteGreat work! Your pitch was perfect, short, and to the point. I can definitely tell you put a lot of thought into your pitch. Your hand movements and enthusiasm showed me that you really care about your product and want it to succeed. Right off the bat I knew what your product was. You really used the time wisely and explained in perfect detail what your app was. You definitely improved from your first pitch. You spoke clearly and slowly so it was easy for me to understand. The only critique I have is that maybe next time you should smile a little more. Show the audience that you are excited about your app!

James,
ReplyDeleteI thought your elevator pitch was really good and accomplished all that it needed to. You seemed confident and very articulate. On top of that you were able to get your idea out in a manner that was clear and to the point. This is exactly what you want out of an elevator speech. I also thought your use of hand gestures was very well balanced. Check out my blog when you get a chance, http://chrispate25.blogspot.com/2016/02/week-7-elevator-pitch-no-2.html
James, your idea is very interesting and innovative. You want to supply a demand that will very well be consistent in this day in age, and as well as that you have an idea of an mobile application that will coincide with your initial product to create a system that will very well change how people find a source of energy within public places such as the library. Great pitch and good luck!
ReplyDeleteHey James,
ReplyDeleteSo I may be on the other end of the spectrum, but I don't really see how your product would work. Charging from light sources to fill an external battery would take a very long time. Also, they already have external batteries on the market, so I am not sure how your product differs from the very popular ones that I could purchase from amazon. i thought this was a step up from your last presentation, but I would say continue to innovate and find a more creative angle for your product.
