Assignment 22A: Elevator Pitch No. 3



2) A reflection on the feedback you received from your last pitch.
  All of the feedback that I received from my last post was positive and acknowledged that the changes I made from the first pitch enhanced the pitch a lot. I added some facts about how many people went kayaking in 2017 and had a more cohesive pitch. I think that the second pitch was a lot better than the first because I already knew what I wanted to say and made it more conversational rather than formal.

 3) What did you change, based on the feedback?
   Based on the feedback from the last pitch, I did not change too many things. I added the uses for my product such as how it can be used both residentially as in it can be bought by the general public and commercially such as through kayak rental companies. I think my second pitch was better than this one for the sole purpose of that it was a lot more off the top of my head than written down and flowed a lot better. I think with more practice I would be able to get it perfect every time.

    Daniel,

    Your elevator pitches have become tremendously better since your first one that I watched. Your business has come along way as well, having grown as a human and as a business is a great trait that will help you in the long run.

    Howdy Daniel,
    Statistics are always a nice thing to have in a pitch. I didn't end up changing much from my second pitch either. I thought that since this one was shorter that I could get rid of the fluff in my previous pitch, but it was much harder to cut down than I thought. Conversational pitches do sound better than formal pitches but this one was still not bad. Good job on the post.

    Hi Daniel,

    I definitely agree that with more practice you start to perfect your pitch – I experienced the same thing when practicing my pitch. I like how you added new parts to your product during your pitch that would make it more effective. I did something similar with my product. I think that by saying it out loud and trying to sell it to people, we are able to find flaws in our product that we can improve to increase sales.

The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users, Guy Kawasaki 1) What was the general theme or argument of the book?    Throughout the entire book, Kawasaki gave insights into what a company or person should be doing in order to grow the social media aspect of their business or how to network while using social media. It gave many examples of things that are good to implement in your social media profiles and how to curate enough information in order to create or recreate content. They explained things such as how to generate more traffic through your social media platforms, get followers, create content, and how to react to comments and other forms of user communication.  2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003?    If there is anything I have learned about being an entrepreneur from this class is that you need to be able to adapt your company or idea to the changing times or else someo...

Assignment 25A: Whats Next?

Existing Market: Step 1: I think that this business concept might be able to be expanded and more features added. There are always new things that can be added to a product to make it better. Something that could be added are paddle holders so that you can attach the paddles to it when you aren't moving. This has been an issue in the past where I would set them down on the kayak and they float away while I'm not paying attention. Step 2: After talking with 3 different potential customers, they gave me some ideas that I hadn't really thought about yet. One of them said that we could use the party pack as sort of advertising for certain rental companies. We could make them in the colors of the rental company and put their brand name on it so that while people are kayaking, they could advertise for the company they rented it from. Another one said that we could bring them to certain Universities. The University of Florida rents kayaks out to students that they can take to ...

Assignment 13A: Reading Reflection No. 1

Grinding It Out: The Making of McDonald’s, Ray Kroc 1) You read about an entrepreneur: What surprised you the most? It surprised me to know that it was not Kroc's idea to start the company or even had any part of it.  What about the entrepreneur did you most admire? I admired that he was able to see an opportunity that the McDonald's brothers weren't able to see.  What about the entrepreneur did you  least  admire? He could've included the McDonald's brother in the empire that he created because it was their idea. Did the entrepreneur encounter adversity and failure? If so, what did they do about it? Kroc encountered a lot of products that he tried to sell which didn't quite work out too well but he kept trying new items and seeing what the outcome was.  2) What competencies did you notice that the entrepreneur exhibited? The biggest competency that Kroc had was his sales experience and ability. He also had a lot of determination and pride in and fo...
