Reflection: The important feedback that stood out to me from my first elevator pitch was to get a better angle, lighting, and to talk with more enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is important because if you don't show an interest and a passion for your own product/service, then you can't really expect anyone else to either. It surprised me to see that I was told I talked about other agencies too much, because I don't think I did. The most wrong feedback was that I was asked what I meant when I said "we" in my last video. This is silly because these assignments are clearly hypothetical pitches to promote our brand, so when I say that I am the CEO of SmashBro Sports and then follow that with the word "we," it's quite obvious that I'm referring to my hypothetical sports agency and not the University of Florida or any other unrelated organization/institution.
Changes: Based on this feedback, I changed what I deemed was important and what I agreed with, such as the angle, lighting, enthusiasm and even trying to talk about my company a bit more even though that caused me to run over 90 seconds.
Hi Jose,
ReplyDeleteI watched your first pitch and it seems you changed a lot of things based on your feedback. More importantly, you changed what you thought was important. Enthusiasm is a big part when doing a pitch in my opinion. It shows how much you care about your idea. I also noticed that your pitch is much clearer. It is easier to see your pitch now. Regarding your idea, as long as you care about it you should continue with your concept. Thank you for sharing!
