17A – Elevator Pitch No. 2 -

1.)  Link To My Pitch: https://youtu.be/727-vf2Zv68

2.) A reflection on the feedback you received from your last pitch. Describe what stood out to you as important, what feedback surprised you the most, what feedback you think was outright wrong or silly, what feedback you thought was most useful and insightful. 

Due to not being proactive, I was unable to upload my last pitch in time for my product. However, having asked others in person for their advice on this upload, I felt that one thing that was insightful was how far having confidence can go. I'm a very shy person, but rehearsing my lines, trying smiling, and adjusting the way I carried myself made a huge difference in the way I came off in my elevator pitch.

2.) What did you change, based on the feedback?

As I didn't have feedback due to not having an initial upload, the revision process was something I based off feedback I received from those I asked to watch my pitch in person. Throwing in a statistic, as recommended by someone who I had watch my pitch and review it, helped me refine my pitch to be a lot better than it was initially during the writing process of this pitch. Additionally, reflecting on the way I carried myself and trying to gauge the tone I was giving off allowed me to convey how I felt about this product, allowing for a finalized elevator pitch that was a marked improvement over my first run through the script. My original pitch was somewhere around 60 seconds long, which was too short to meet the requirements of the assignment, and having thought about it and rewritten it several times, I found that adjusting my wording to be slower and more understandable, as well as showing it to others allowed me to refine my final pitch in such a way that I had a better final product.
