REFLECTION:
I've received a lot of great feedback that has helped shape this last elevator pitch. I was very happy with my second elevator pitch, although there are some things that can improve I think overall it covered a lot of the things I wanted with in the time limit. On this pitch I limited myself to only one try, no re dos. I wanted to push myself to be ready at all times, I mean that is the point of an elevator pitch. So although this pitch might not be the best and I could change some things I was happy with it because it was my first and only attempt. I tried to be a little bit more excited but after seeing the video I could be a little more excited. Sometimes you thing you are doing something well and the camera shows differently. I don't typically show much emotion so it is sometimes difficult to act super excited but that was one of the feedback I took to heart and something I will definitely have to work on. I also took out a couple things like "sales is easy," after evaluating my pitch I agree with the feedback that it is not easy and it might come across in a negative way. I still included that sales is a numbers game so it implies that it can be simple if you dedicate enough time. I found that for the most part I have my pitch memorized and it was a lot easier to say what I needed to say with in the time limit than the first pitch. I was also a lot more comfortable recording, mainly because I knew what I wanted to say. All in all it still needs some work but I am happy with the improvement.
Lucas,
ReplyDeleteGreat idea on the final pitch to do it in one shot. I agree that we are only going to one shot each time we present our message to potential customers. With that in mind, the word “right” was used 4 times, I wanted to suggest that you focus on flowing from one statement to the next with different words. I understand that it is not easy on the fly. That is where repetition comes in. Overall, you implemented the feedback very well and had delivered a great pitch. Keep up the good work!

Hey Lucas,
ReplyDeleteGood job of doing the elevator pitch in one go, it shows how much you been practicing. I think it’s also critical to be ready all the time because in the real world we don’t have the chance to prepare. Continue to keep up the good work and stay ready.

Hi Lucas,
ReplyDeleteI was very surprised to see that this was completed in only one take and it only goes to show how prepared you were. As far as your concern towards a lack of emotion I didn't find it to be much of an issue. You came off as professional to me and I wouldn't have paid much attention to it if you hadn't brought it up.
