#17 – Elevator Pitch No. 2

-
link to pitch: https://youtu.be/VGw_n-7lqNY

Reflection:
- Important: my first pitch showed that I was knowledgeable in the subject of running. people are always more interested to buy from you if you seem knowledgable and can convince them that you know what you're doing or talking about.  
- Surprised: nothing really, expected positive criticism and positive comments about my pitch.
- Wrong or silly: everything was useful!
- Most useful: posing questions may attract interest such as facts or statistics, stand up and be dynamic to show you’re passionate about your product, ask for feedback at the end about your pitch

Change: 
- I stood up and was more dynamic with my hands during the pitch. 
- I added in a statistic to try and add effect, while deleting other unnecessary information. 
- I dressed for the product that I am trying to sell, aka an athletic top.

    Hello Taylor,

    Great job! Standing up and being more dynamic with your hands was a great improvement. Some of your gestures in the beginning were too low to be captured by the camera, so maybe try to rest your hands a little higher. Since you deleted unnecessary info, think about maybe trying to use that saved time to have longer pauses in b/w topics as well!

    Hello Taylor,
    I like how you are more dynamic in the pitch, how you use hand gestures to make your point across. The tone of voice was very convincing of how knowledgeable you are of your product, the only thing is that your speech rate was a bit faster at the beginning and then normalized. Your second elevator pitch was really good (thumbs up!!)

    Hey Taylor!
    This video is a great improvement from the last one! You seem much more confident and talk much clearer and more concise. Standing up was a great improvement, and the proof of knowledge carried over from the last video, so the only differences were positive improvements. If your product really came out I would for sure buy it!
    Great post!

    Hey Taylor!

    I really liked this pitch! Your hook/intro grabbed my attention - and I’m not even a runner! Great job on adding inflection to your voice. Without this inflection, the pitch would sound too monotone. As far as recommendations, I would recommend speaking a little more slowly and taking a few pauses during transitions. This would definitely make the pitch way better.

    Overall, great delivery on the pitch!

    Best,

#29 – Venture Concept No. 2

My Opportunity: The opportunity that I identified was the need for a new app that could aid runners in sustaining a consistent pace when they participate in outdoor runs. My product would only apply to a select group of individuals, as not everyone is a runner or is concerned with their pace. I am specifically focusing on athletes, competitive runners, and true beginners. I would also consider targeting a radically different target such as personal trainers and gyms who are looking for new technology. My product will create value for these people because they come in contact with my original target market and could increase the trainer-athlete relationships. There are so many variables when it comes to running and pacing is a difficult one to control. There are many pacing problems that occur very commonly outside, which can consist of over-striding, gassing out too early, or losing control on hills. Current devices on apple watches and smart phones provide split times, but not your ...

#6 – Identifying Opportunities in Economic & Regulatory Trends

Economic Trend Opportunities  #1. Millennials have an average of $28,000 in debt – and the biggest sources isn’t student loans Source: CNBC.  Article 1 This information suggests an opportunity might exist because millennials need help managing their debt. But also shows that yes, although millennials have debt, at least they are stimulating the economy through spending.  The prototypical customer would be companies who assist with loan and debt repayments. But also the companies who millennials are purchasing items from.  I think this could be exploited easily because there are many millennials who need assistance and also should be taught the proper effects of debt. On the other hand, with spending it is very easy to target millennials, especially through digital advertising.  I saw this as an opportunity because as a college student, sometimes it can be challenging to sacrifice your lifestyle and hold back from swiping your credit card on items. It ma...
