Elevator Pitch No. 2

For my last pitch I received positive feedback about my idea and people seem to really like it. One thing that stood out to me as important was the cost of my business concept. When I was doing my elevator pitch I did not talk about or mention how much my idea would cost. The cost is definitely something that is very important to consider and have in mind when coming up with a new invention. My idea about parking spaces having lights that show if the spot is available or not seems expensive and nearly impossible. In my own opinion, I think this idea could be made possible at a reasonable cost. Even though the comments were positive, people doubt that the idea could be made possible. This was surprising to me because in this day and age I believe people are always looking for new ways and technology to put the human race into a technological era. No feedback comment was outright wrong or silly. 

For this elevator pitch, I decided to be out on the streets and try to illustrate the problem and show the solution with my idea. Instead of being in my apartment telling people about the idea, I’m going to show them that it could really be something helpful and worth investing in. In the recent comments people were asking about the cost of the idea and invention, so I decided to research about it. It turns out that there are similar products already in place, making the idea more feasible. I have only seen the idea at parking garages only where the lights are placed on the ceiling. My idea is going to work inside and outside, but with the same concept. Since there is a product out there for what I wanted to do, my new business proposal would be for Gainesville to incorporate that system.

  1. Hey Daniela, it’s great that you worked on the previous suggestion made to you. I really like what you did here, you actually went to the streets where the problem is. Pitching your elevator pitch from the very spot where the problem is occurring definitely sets a great environment for your elevator pitch. One thing I would suggest would be to write down your elevator pitch and work on the delivery itself. You want to make sure you grab the audience attention within the first few seconds. I love your idea and where you are going with this. Great job! Here is the link to my very own Elevator Pitch No. 2: http://susanamorales0129.blogspot.com/2016/02/elevator-pitch-no-2.html

  2. Hey Daniela, I like your idea and I love how you did it in a parking lot, but I just think you need to work on the actual delivery of your pitch. You came off as a bit nervous, which takes away from how convincing the idea is. Next time, you can work on planting your feet instead of moving around and make sure that you know what you're going to say and how you're going to say it before you say it. http://abraham-khalil.blogspot.com/2016/02/elevator-pitch-no-2.html

  3. It's different that you had your idea and went to the very place you were trying to help or resolve the issue. I advice I would be giving is better attire like the directions said. It would look more professional and possibly a confidence boost as well. That will help with the eye contact and help make the presentation more strong. Don't get me wrong, you grab the attention after a few seconds, but just trying to help is all.

  4. Hey Daniela, I liked that you filmed your video in a parking lot, it does somewhat affect the sound quality though so maybe you can find a better way to fix the audio. Your video was also a little short but otherwise great job!
