Elevator Pitch No.3 was definitely much easier to do than the previous two. Really understanding my company and immersing myself in the idea has allowed the vocabulary and concept to flow easier when I talk about it. On my last pitch I received relatively positive comments from my peers but there were some things that were up for me to improve upon in this pitch. One of the comments I actually got was that I seemed to be stiff when I was giving my pitch. This actually contradicted comments that I had received on my first pitch where multiple people told me to calm down with the amount of movement I was doing. I found a compromise in this dilemma by using a suggestion from one of my peers who said meaningful hand gestures would be a decent place to meet in the middle.
Another comment I received was to specifically explain how I was going to teach the different learning styles to my customers. I really wanted to include more of this is my pitch but was unable to say as much as I would have liked based on my time constraint. How the customer was going to pay was another important thing I felt the need to address and decided on a monthly based subscription as the best option for my service, which I added to my pitch as well. One comment that I received, which I didn't quite understand was related to my company name. It suggested that I consider a new name because it brought up negative connotations with it which I did take seriously, however I could not think of why this might be an issue. When I went to get more information from the peer who commented on this the comment had been deleted.
I'm sure many people can relate to the struggle it is to get a complete elevator pitch take without messing up in some aspect... So I decided to include a short video here that included all of my many mess ups! Enjoy!! :)
Skylar, you did an excellent job presenting your business in your elevator pitch. By adding in examples of how people may learn really captured the viewers attention. You were very direct, enthusiastic but not nervous, and grounded in your presentation. I would be someone that would be interesting in checking out your services. From the different tutoring companies I've explored, I don't think I ever remember coming across on that focuses on how people learn (sight/sound/touch). Great job! I missed the deadline for this assignment so I do not have a link to share with you.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job with this pitch. Adding visual and auditory aids is a neat idea that does help, though I think the pause while the music played interrupted your flow a little.If you're interested I'll put the link to my blog post below. Keep up the great work!

Hi Skylar!
ReplyDeleteThis is a good idea because this concept is different since it goes through the types of learners which is not something that I have seen before. I enjoyed how energetic and passionate you seemed in your pitch. You also provided examples and it was easier for me to have a good understanding about what services you provide.

Hello Skylar!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and I think you have a great pitch going on here! It seems different than anything I have heard and I love to think of new things and see new ideas! You seem very into your idea and I love that! The music seemed a little distracting to you thought so maybe next time it can be planned better? Great job!

Skylar, it looks like you're keeping your pitch light hearted! I think the audio clips might be a little much, but if it helped you deliver your message, more power to you. Just keep in mind-- if you were actually by chance in an elevator and went to pitch someone-- the music and visual props would be kind of "creepy". As if you had stalked that person into an elevator, instead of just chatted them up.
