Elevator Pitch #3

Elevator pitch # 3




Reflection:
I think that I got some really good feedback from my previous elevator pitch that I really took to heart. I was told that I should try to be more enthusiastic for my next elevator pitch. I was told that I had some lighting issues that I needed to fix because it was hard to see my face. I was also told that I should focus on how I will get people to invest in my product.  I used all of this constructive criticism to try and improve my elevator pitch. For starters I tried to act more enthusiastic about my elevator pitch this time around and I tried to focus on reeling in investors this time. I also believe that I fixed the lighting issue that I had last time.

    Hi JC! I could tell by your presentation that you were excited and believed in your product, which made me want to listen and hear your entire pitch. I am not sure what your lighting was before this and I know you made improvements, but for the future I would have more light in front of your face than the back as it would help brighten it up. Overall, great job!

    Hey, John.
    Well done with your pitch! I think your face was slightly clearer in this go around and you definitely improved on enthusiasm! I really liked the statistics in the beginning. For the revenue number, do you know how many billions are spent on coffee?
    Just some constructive criticism regarding the visual aspect: try raising the camera to around eye-level and standing with the light in front of you, instead of behind. I think you'll find that it gives you a more authoritative appearance and draws in your audience.
    Anyways, well done! Any pitches you decide to do from here-on-out will be all self imposed!

Assignment 28A – Your Exit Strategy

Assignment 28A – Your Exit Strategy ·        Identify the exit strategy you plan to make. Do you intend to sell your business in the next 5 years for a large return? Do you intend to stay with the business for several decades and retire? Do you intend to protect the venture as a family business, and pass it down to your children? o    I think that my exit strategy is to stay with my business for as long as it is profitable and manageable for me. This could mean selling it in five years if I decide I cannot handle the business anymore and I just want to take my money and run. Or maybe I will handle the business for decades, just as long as its profitable and I can handle running the business. If I am nearing the end of my life and the business is still successful, I think I would pass it on my children and let them run it. All and all I think my exit strategy would be taking things one day at a time. I think if I look too far in the future it...

Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No. 1

Assignment 12A – Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No. 1 Choosing a segment:   For this assignment, I chose a segment of parents that have children that are currently in school. All of my interviews were with parents who were concerned that their children had trouble focusing on their schoolwork. One of the parents I interviewed is a single mother of two children. She says that she thinks her oldest son has trouble focusing on his schoolwork and his grades are suffering as a result. Another was a father of one child. He says that his daughter spends too much time on her phone and that she doesn’t consistently get good grades. The third is another mother who has five children. She believes that two of her children have trouble with doing their schoolwork and she suspects it is because of the constant distractions. Interviews: In the interviews I conducted with the three parents there was one thing they had in common: they all had the unmet need of having some way to have their c...

Assignment 15A – Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No. 2

Assignment 15A – Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No. 2 For this exercise I decided to try a different business opportunity, specifically the idea I had for my first elevator pitch: Coffee on demand. Coffee on demand would be an app that would deliver a cup of coffee (or any other caffeinated beverage) to the customer wherever and whenever they needed it. It would work similarly to how uber eats works where you can pay to have the food delivered to you or you can get paid to deliver food to people, but with coffee. In my first interview, the person had some great insights on the alternatives to my service. He said the only real alternative to my app idea was mobile ordering from the coffee places directly. He said that while my app would be more convenient than mobile ordering if you didn’t have a lot of time, he probably would just go directly to the coffee place to pick up his order if he had the few minutes to spare. He made a good point that he wouldn’t want to have to pay a deliv...
