22A – Elevator Pitch No. 3



Reflection:
Everyone really liked that I added statistics to my last pitch. Since I shifted to a different organization late into the semester, I tried to tie the comments that I received from my previous two pitches into the new one. I made sure to add statistics into this pitch as well, as one of the commenters stated it makes my pitch seem more informed and be more reliable. One commenter also stated that my second pitch had a great deal of ethos, I tried to recreate that in my third pitch. I tried to connect my experiences working in animal shelters back into my pitch. 

What changed:
I rewrote and presented an entirely new pitch that I thought would be more beneficial for me outside of this class. This is the biggest factor that I changed. 

Since I have a whole new pitch, I haven’t been able to memorize it like the other two presentations; however, I can attest that I am more comfortable in front of the camera and no longer get anxious thinking about this assignment or doing something similar to this. I think my pitches have improved, and I have a better idea of what is essential to add and what isn’t.  

All statistics come from the Humane Society of The United States and were found from the following link

  1. Taylor,
    I like it. Kudos for having the nerve to change up the concept. When I watched your video, I thought about foster kids and the fact that they try and hold on to something that comforts them as they go to a new home. I imagine this would be the same for animals. As they are adopted, they get to take a toy they played with in the shelter to their new family home. It will be a small reminder and comfort with something that did not change drastically that day.

  2. Hey Taylor,
    I agree with the other Brian. I think it was brave of you rewrite and change up the presentation completely with a new idea and it worked out well for you. The idea of combining two things that people are caring more and more about overtime, pets and lowering their carbon footprint, was an excellent idea. However, I think that this could be at best a non for profit organization. As you said yourself, the products are so super easy to make and can be made with old water bottles or t shirts. If that is your goal, the presentation was perfect. If not, than I suggest changing the wording of the presentation up so that customers won't feel that they are wasting money buying from your company.

  3. Hey Taylor,
    Great presentation. The idea of combining two things that are important and that people are becoming aware of, animals and need and lowering your carbon footprint is a great way to get potential contacts interested in backing your proposal. Even if your idea does not bring in profit it is still a great foundation of business skills that you are building by getting involved with shelters across the US. This opportunity could bring in potential contacts and new ideas to continue to help animals.
