2) I got some more really helpful feedback on my last elevator pitch. I got some of the same feedback as the one before, which was try to seem more natural. Which again I realize is hard to do, I am working on it but it takes time and practice. I also good some good feedback about the pace I was speaking at and projecting my voice. What surprised me the most was that my elevator pitch was a little too long last time, and also that I gave too much detail about my product. I was told that I should really just be trying to grab my audiences attention and should be worried less about explaining how it works. I didn't get any outright silly feedback either.
3) My script is not nearly memorized yet, but I am getting better at it. I am a lot more comfortable in front of the camera but like I mentioned earlier I still have a long ways to go before my pitch seems natural. I do agree though that all in all my pitch is generally better than it was the first time. I changed my pitch by making it a little bit shorter and focused more on trying to sell my product rather than explaining the product.
Graham,
ReplyDeleteNice video. Your pitch seemed smooth and well thought out. It's always hard to be natural, but I feel you did a great job this time around. It was pretty cool seeing you progress through the last 3 pitches. I like how you focused more on selling the product than just listing off features
