22A – Elevator Pitch No. 3


22A – Elevator Pitch No. 3

https://youtu.be/ksnfdL2pQ6A

Reflection from No. 2: I think what stood out to me as important was that everyone mentioned that they liked my energy in this pitch. What surprised me the most was no one mentioned the dirty mask that seemed to be such a high request from my first pitch. The feedback that surprised me the most was that they seemed to think this pitch was better than my first one. I still like my first one better; guess we shall see how this one fares. I think it was insightful to get feedback on how I incorporated my work. One peer said that it established credibility, which made me feel successful in my goal.


What I changed: I felt more comfortable with this pitch. I was able to jump right into it and my nerves weren’t all over the place. I tried to keep my energy up and incorporate various tones. I focused on my opening hook and ensured that I nailed it without any stutter. I wore a lab coat from my Sleep clinic to incorporate credentials.  I do believe this pitch is the best of my pitches. I see how practicing pitches over and over does benefit the mission.

    Hi Elizabeth!
    I think that the different tones in your voice helped enhance the effectiveness of your speech. It seems to me that you know your pitch really well at this point and have it mostly memorized. I agree that the lab coat increases your credibility. I agree that this pitch in better than your last two. I don’t have further suggestions other than with more practice comes more confidence.

    hey Liz,

    I really love the lab coat idea. I am not trying to say you're the same as those cheap infomercials with the fake doctors, but wearing the lab coat makes viewers feel like your credible and valid to listen too. I also love the props. They help guide the pitch and make the viewers understand. Overall loved your video!

    Hey Elizabeth,
    There is a real need for the product you are offering. For the people in with this particular sleeping disorder that you addressed, cleaning the mask is tedious and expensive. I feel that you addressed this in your video very well, and provided very good information, especially how expensive the machines to wash it are, and i could see your product doing very well. Very good post.

21A – Reading Reflection No. 2

21A – Reading Reflection No. 2 For my second reading assignment, I chose How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life by Scott Adams. 1) What was the general theme or argument of the book? The general theme of this book was all about teaching techniques on how to live life and attempt to be successful. Scott Adams, the Dilbert artist, attempts to prove why “goals are bad” and “systems are good.” He describes his life in detail and constantly repeats himself. He highlights a billion of his failures throughout the book. 2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003? The one connection that I had with the book that enhanced what I have learned in ENT3003 is how he talks about presenting yourself to others. Your tone, a good handshake and looking someone in their eyes is very important. Especially with first impressions. I also like how he related his failures as opportunities to achieve success.

24A - Venture Concept No. 1

24A – Venture Concept No. 1 1) Opportunity: “An estimated 22 million Americans suffer from Sleep Apnea.”[1] The majority of patients that treat their Sleep Apnea use a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) device.                                                                      Figure 1[2] My target customer would be males aged 49+ as statistics show that males at that age have a large increase in diagnosis. Figure 2[3] This market is defined geographically and demographically: Within the male population, I would specifically focus on military retirees. They receive Tricare benefits which authorizes pay for CPAP resupplies (2 masks and hoses) every 6 months. This would ensure constant need and customer acquisition. Geographically, I would target areas that were close to where Vetera...

28A - Your Exit Strategy

28A – Your Exit Strategy 1) Identify the exit strategy you plan to make. Do you intend to sell your business in the next 5 years for a large return? Do you intend to stay with the business for several decades and retire? Do you intend to protect the venture as a family business, and pass it down to your children? I plan on staying with CPAP Hygiene for several decades and then retire. It would be nice to hire one of my children to eventually be the CEO and I could sit on the board and chime in when needed. However, if by some strange reason in 5 years my business was worth billions… PEACE I’m out lol. 2) Why have you selected this particular exit strategy? I want to feel like I accomplished something in my life. Having a successful business for several decades and being able to have your child take it over is awesome! I would feel like I was leaving my baby with my baby lol. Isn’t owning your own business an American dream? I’d love to check that off my bucket list. 3) How do you thin...
