Elevator Pitch #2

-
17A
Reflection of Feedback:
Most of my feedback was positive, all of my peers thought this was a good invention overall. They especially loved the app extension idea. My peers also liked how I included the name of my company and introduced my research team, as it made me seem credible. Constructively, my peers suggested that I slowed down while pitching my elevator pitch to “bring out the pitch”. 


I slowed down more and added some more features that the app would potentially have.

    Deborah,
    I love how you hammered the name of your company into the listener's mind by emphasizing it numerous times. You also took your time to enunciate the words and explain well your points. However, at the end of the pitch, I find myself knowing very little about the nature of your product and uses for it. At the beginning, I don't believe that you mentioned it was an app, and your introduction confused me as to what the app aids: a washer or a dryer?
    Overall, you did a very good job!
    Respectfully, Maeghan Solanki

    Deborah,
    I really think you took the necessary adjustments that just added to your pitch. You slowed down, and I was able to hear all your words, and really get into what you were talking. But, I think the addition of more specific topics will just put your pitch over the top. But, other than that, your pitch was really good. Thank you for sharing.

Forming An Opportunity Belief

4A Beginning Point: After revisiting my big list, I think an opportunity exists to fix drying machines. Sometimes, when I run the dryer, I forget to clean the lint out of the dryer, which causes my clothes to be somewhat damp after the dryer buzzes. This causes me to rerun the dryer, which raises utility expenses at my apartment. The unmet need for this problem would be for the dryer to indicate whether or not the lint has been cleaned. Everyone with a dryer would most likely have this need. This need has always existed, and always bugged me. The opportunity probably exists for 80% of people who own or even use dryers. Prototypical customer: The prototypical customer would be anyone who owns or even uses a drying machine. The target audience ranges anywhere from teens and young adults to adults.  Interviewee 1 (prototypical customer): I spoke to a male senior here at the University of Florida while at Library West.  ·        H...

Your Exit Strategy

-
28A I think I plan to stay with my business until I am either comfortable financially, or ready to retire, whichever one comes first. I have selected this exit strategy because my grandparents are entrepreneurs and I am following in their footsteps. My grandparents own a chain of condos. They ran it until they were ready to retire, and they have made it into a family business because now my aunts and uncles run it and it will go to my cousins and I one day. I think this exit strategy has influenced the other decisions I have made by leading me to another contact in this industry, I know my grandparents work with a laundry company to get discounts on their bulk purchases for the condos and houses they rent out. This exit strategy has helped me realize and remember their connections that I can use as another opportunity.

Celebrating Failure

-
26A For New Year’s this year, I made a resolution to reach out to my friends and family more. I am normally really busy and I tend to forget to update/get updates from my loved ones. My resolution consisted of calling or face-timing my friends and family at least once a month, or bimonthly. I managed to keep my resolution up for the first month, I called one person a day and made sure to text my parents every night. Slowly, I noticed myself stop calling my loved ones, but I still wanted to catch up with them so I would send an occasional text or interact with them on social media. I guess you could say I failed at keeping up this resolution because I haven’t called any of my loved ones for a while since school has gotten more stressful. However, during this pandemic I’ve made more time to reach out to my friends and family, making sure they are ok and catching up with them. I learned that life can get busy, but you should always make time for the ones you love and make sure that t...
