Elevator Pitch 2

https://youtu.be/BVlaQ3tcy4s

A lot of the feedback I received revolved around length, stiffness, and speed of talking. I decided to go into more depth in this elevator pitch and take around a minute to do so as opposed to thirty seconds last time. In order to be less stiff, I had a friend record me. This relaxed me and allowed me to stand in a calmer stance. I also did a couple seconds of getting my mind focused and at ease before this. Additionally, I took off the tie because I thought that if I did so, it would possibly make me less stiff. In order to slow down when I was talking I just really focused on slow speech. These three things brought me success in being able to enhance my elevator pitch.

    Chad,
    I thought you did a great job and took the initial criticism and worked it to fix your pitch. I think you could have slowed down a little bit. Doing so would allow your audience to process the information that you are giving them. You were about 20 seconds short of the goal time, so this change would not hurt your time criteria. Overall, however, fantastic job.

    I agree with Cooper, and think that you did a great job improving your pitch based off of the criticism given. You did a good job acting less stiff, something I need to work on myself. I think having a friend record is a good idea, along with change of attire. I will have to try this my self to seem less stiff. As with last time, your passion about the topic is clear and there are no problems with the content of your elevator pitch, or how you presented it.

I still think my most formative experience was my bug list. It was during my bug list that I realized that it is the things that bother you, that bother others, that creates opportunities for business. To me, realizing this allowed me to realize that the opportunity of students needing money and other students having money to spend for a clean room existed. This allowed me to see and open my eyes to the fact that I definitely wasn’t the only with this problem.             My most enjoyable moments had to have come from anytime I interviewed someone. It was always such a fun experience. Even getting rejected by a passerby still made for a funny story sometimes. But there was genuinely nothing better than when I had a great conversation with someone possibly interested in the idea of my business or my business venture.             I’m honestly proud of finishing up the ventur...

College Cleaners The opportunity that this venture is based off of is that college students living in dorms have a problem keeping their room straight and clean. Students have this problem because they lack the time to clean their room since a lot of time they have an issue adjusting to a busy schedule. The other main factor that causes students living in dorms to have this need is that they a lot of times aren’t used to cleaning after themselves. A lot of students grow up with their parents or someone hired to clean their house and their room. For this reason, it is hard for them to keep track of all their belongings when they are compiled in one room. This need is required every two weeks and on an occasion of messier students, every week. This statement is based off of asking LaZ Dorm, who offers a cleaning service, how often their services are required. After being in contact with the owner, I am well aware and certain this this need is required every week to two weeks. The f...

My exit strategy is one that I don’t see happening for quite some time. I plan on building this business up for the foreseeable future. This business I don’t believe has the ability to go public, however, I am sure that it can definitely expand past just the UF campus. This exit strategy if I had to assume, would come later down the road. I would continue to run this company and invite top and higher executives if I was able to expand the business. I would bring in more experienced and well-developed professionals to aid me in growing the business, however, I wouldn’t give away too much power as seen with Apple and Steve Jobs. I would then sell the business, most likely to a private equity firm, when I felt that I had expanded it enough and want to go on to other ventures.             The reason that I feel that I would stay on working for the company is because I see that this model could be successful past just the UF campus....
