22A – Elevator Pitch No. 3

-
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.

Pitch:

2) A reflection on the feedback you received from my last pitch:

I was very grateful to receive such detailed feedback and positive comments.  One of the things that stood out to me was to stand for my pitch and dress in a more professional attire.  I agree that standing would make me seem much more confident and credible on my idea.  I was also really glad to see that people enjoyed my personal comments on late night snacks and attempts to make the post more relatable.  I made sure to continue these comments in my new pitch in order to seem knowledgeable yet engaging to my audience.

3) What I changed based on my feedback

I felt much more confident giving this elevator pitch because I knew the material much better and developed a greater passion for it.  Also, standing up made me feel more secure and as if I was pitching to a team of business executives.  I still need to work on memorizing my key points a little more but I am happy with my progress.

    You used the feedback that you received from the last two Elevator Pitches to improve your latest attempt, and it shows! You stood in front of a plain background which minimized the amount of distractions, and you spoke loudly and with confidence. I also found that this time around I knew my own pitch better and felt more comfortable recording it. Great job with your pitch and your reflections!

    Hey Emily,
    I definitely see improvements from your first and second elevator pitch. You dressed up nicely and you were confident in what you were saying. I feel like once you have your pitch memorized, you will be ready to go. I like how you were standing this time too. What helps me memorize is just repeating it out loud over and over and even recording myself until I get it memorized. Nice job!

    Hey Emily, I really liked how you took the time to reflect upon what you thought could improve as well as outside feedback. Standing up and dressing in professional clothing gives off confidence and a sense of knowledge about the subject. In addition, I think that your pitch has some really great components that kept me engaged. In terms of improving, I believe memorizing your pitch and repeatedly practicing will help you improve further. I think that you should practice in front of a mirror to see how you utilize gestures and body language. Don't be afraid to critique yourself!

27A – Reading Reflection No. 3

-
1) What was the general theme or argument of the book? I decided to read  The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users by Guy Kawaski because I am very interested in social media and the ways in which it connects us to other users more efficiently. By reading this book, I was able to gain powerful strategies and insights into what it takes to have a strong social media presence and maintain beneficial followers. 2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003? This book definitely enhanced my learning in ENT 3003 because social media has become such a big part of marketing for so many businesses and I wanted to improve my knowledge on this essential tool to promote my ideas.  I am very passionate about my business "Stacked" and can think of several campaigns that I could complete on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.  3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, wha...

1. Opportunity There is currently no place in Gainesville that provides people with the opportunity to get breakfast food in a customizable, fast-food set up and is open 24 hours.  After going out, many people seek comfort foods such as pancakes, waffles, eggs etc but there is not a place that is open really late and is in the areas that people go out at.  Also, there is an increasing trend with places that are set up like Chipotle, Grill Fresh, Bolay and other places that allow the customers to customize their meals with a variety of options. 2.  Background Info The who:  College students/ Millenials The what: There is a lack of convenient breakfast places that are open 24 hours and are in a fast-food, customization set-up The why:  Restaurants may not have the start-up capital and resources to open up a place that is open during late hours and has fresh foods. 3. Tests Testing the who:  I believe that there are others who have this need besides c...

12A – Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No. 1

1) Segment- The segment of my market that I have chosen to analyze is college students, particularly those that attend the University of Florida in Gainesville and like to go out. 2) Interviewees- I decided to interview two females and one male for the purpose of this project.  All three of them are college sophomores and explained that they like to go out with friends frequently during the evening. 3-5)  I learned that the latest that would be necessary for the restaurant to be opened would most likely be until 3 AM because after this hour people usually return to their homes.  Additionally, there are some nights where this concept would seem more desirable than others such as Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.  On nights such as Sundays and Mondays, this concept would not seem as appealing during the late hours and it may be desirable to make shorter hours during these time periods to save money on paying staff.  Additionally, my interviewees emphasiz...
