The feedback I received the second time I recorded my elevator pitch focused more on commending my skills rather than providing examples of things I can improve. Therefore, I attempted to keep most of the mannerisms I used during my second elevator pitch. Examples of this include a slow yet firm way of speaking, extended eye contact, and a gentle smile. Because this sales pitch was only supposed to be 1 minute rather than the 90 second ones for previous assignments, I had to remove some essential information in my elevator pitch. I feel like the longer videos allowed me to play to my audience's emotional side whereas, in this elevator pitch, I only had time to speak about what the ignition lock truly is. For the future, I would say that 90 seconds to 2 minutes is the ideal length for an elevator pitch so that a businessperson can get their use of their product out as well as some statistics and appeal to the viewers' emotions.
Iara,
ReplyDeleteI tend to agree with your critiques. I think you are really good at these pitches and you look very comfortable in front of a camera. I tend to be the opposite. I don't really like doing these pitches, I tend to do better when I am in front of people physically.
I agree with you in that you need more time to really drive the message home as well. That 30 seconds really does make a difference.
Thank!
I forgot the most essential part in the third pitch: I didn’t meet the time restraint one minute but instead did almost 90 seconds. I was hard to pitch a consolidated view that emphasizes the most relevant, beneficial, and something that is deliverable to the potential investors. Enjoyed watching the video and keep up the good works!
