1) The pitch. Same as last time, 1-minute long. No Web cams. No sitting. Be dynamic! Upload the video to YouTube (as you do with all of your videos) and post the link.
2) A reflection on the feedback you received from your last pitch. Describe what stood out to you as important, what feedback surprised you the most, what feedback you think was outright wrong or silly.
I was very surprised that I received overwhelmingly positive feedback. The one criticism I did have, though, was the fact that getting this blend approved by the FDA for potential hazards that could arise in the showering areas. It would be expensive, but it is something that we are currently working on and is a goal of ours to get better and cut the costs down. Also, there was criticism about having to mass produce this product. And to my disagreement with the person, I believe that this product would be extremely cost-effective and we could have great margins and would make a killing with maybe outsourcing.
3) What did you change, based on the feedback?
I did not change a whole lot based on the feedback. I received feedback that my cadence was smooth and that I was passionate about the product so I tried to emulate what I did in the first two elevator pitches and to keep the enthusiasm at a high level. I talked more about the logistics of getting the substance ran through multiple tests to evaluate cleanliness which would indeed cost a lot more money than expected. But overall, I think that the third elevator pitch was the most sound of the three.
Max,
ReplyDeleteGood work on this assignment especially since it is super awkward talking to a camera for a lot of classmates to see. Unlike you I received a decent amount of feedback that I had to take into account. You did a really good job in your presentation so I see why you did not have to improve on much.

Max,
ReplyDeleteVery different yet cool approach to your elevator pitch. Your idea was a little confusing to me, but I think by the end I finally got the general idea. I do see how there may be some problems with implementation, but I still enjoyed hearing about your idea! I like how you always got positive feedback but still tried to make some small altercations. I did the same, and I would say my elevator pitch number 3 was the most effective, too! Our ideas both have to do with feet (mine is about a dance shoe idea), so if you want, check out my post here: http://cassidymckbusiness.blogspot.com/2016/03/elevator-pitch-no-3.html.
Hello Max,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great attention getter! I have not seen any other pitches like that. At first, I was confused as to what your product was but I think I understood by the end of the pitch. Overall, you did a good job giving your pitch my only feedback would be to be more clear about what the product is. Unfortunately, I did not do this assignment but here is a link to my blog

Hi Max!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I hate when I see people that don't wear shower shoes in a public shower or in any shower that you may not know when it has been cleaned. I would definitely buy your product and I think it would be great if this was approved by the FDA. Good luck with the rest of the semester!
