17A--Elevator Pitch No. 2

Reflection from Pitch No. 1:
I was surprised at the number of "ums" I could squeeze into a two-minute video.  I was also thankful most of the viewers liked my pitch even though it was a tad long.  Those were really the only issues viewers commented on.

I tried to improve upon the concerns that were raised so I genuinely hope you like this one better! I don't think I said nearly as many "ums" and this video is roughly 90 seconds long.  I also worked on the power statements some and changed where I took the video so that it's from a more natural angle and I had ample room to move.  I also tried to make my movements more natural but I'm not entirely sure if I succeeded.  Please let me know!


Here is my second Elevator Pitch.  I finally got one I can live with after 8 takes; I hope you enjoy it!  Please leave me comments so I can improve!! :)

Jerrett's 2nd Elevator Pitch


Thanks for watching!

Sincerely,

Jerrett

    I think this was a great elevator pitch and definitely better than your previous one! I liked your tone and your appearance was very professional. You had a proper voice pace where the listener can keep track of what you were saying so they were properly informed about your project. Also nice work sticking within the time limit. Great job!

    Hey Jerrett!
    I think you fixed you pitch up really well this time around! Your previous post was good but I like how you improved your "ums" and filler words. Your enunciation was clear and your projection was clear and clean. Great job on keeping the time limit because that was one of your critiques.

30A--Final Reflection

Image
1) Read through your posts from this semester. Recall all of the experiences you've had a long the way -- the highs, the lows -- the fun moments, and the moments of drudgery, and even the moments of dread. While the assignments in this class are rarely difficult or terribly time-consuming, the volume makes them somewhat tedious.  I definitely experienced dread a few times, primarily because I have two jobs, one of which requires me to travel quite a bit on the weekends. This possibly abnormal occupational requirement was only an issue because the cupcakes were only open on the weekends and closed at NOON (really, Dr. Pryor?). But, I think the class was beneficial overall.  I did enjoy completing most of the assignments. All but a few were fairly insightful and thought-provoking. 2) What sticks out to you as the most formative experience? The experience that you'll remember years later? What was your most joyous experience? What experience are you most proud of y...

3A – Your Entrepreneurship Story My parents started their first companies in their early twenties and their second in their late thirties. I grew up as the only son on a family farm and therefore have been working most of my life (since age seven).  I have seen the ugly side of entrepreneurship and the illusion of freedom it flaunts.  My parents often work over 80 hours a week.  Sometimes that is 80 hours of extremely stressful situation management coupled with intense physical labor.  Others it is the overwhelming amount of legwork to keep a company going.  The planning, accounting, PR, employee relations, marketing, root-hog-or-die, put everyone about you and your family and the company above it all side of entrepreneurship that most individuals never get to see.  It's an absolutely incredible thing for an individual or group to risk it all, put in every drop of effort they possess, risk their reputation and future on a dream.  That dream is ofte...

18A--Creating a Customer Avatar

Image
I'd like you to describe your prototypical customer in that segment with as much detail as you can. Include pictures, too. Tell us their story! What kind of hobbies does your customer have? What kind of car do they tend to drive? (What color is it?) What TV shows do they watch? Do they have children? Are any of them adopted? What are their favorite books, and who are their favorite politicians? How old are they? How old do they feel? And so on. The richer the detail, the better.  After you have created this customer avatar, I'd like you to answer this final set of questions: What do  you  have in common with the customer avatar? If you have anything in common with the avatar, do you think that is a coincidence? Why? I think my prototypical customer is a husband with 15-20 chickens or a small aquacultural operation.  They will typically be hobbyist with "real" jobs away from home.  Their children will be heavily involved in animal care and the farming portion...
