22. The Grand Finale

1. Here is the link to my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGd8BDE_LAs

2.  My last business pitch was my first one for my new company.  I think it went very well and my feedback also mentioned this.  I am happy to be doing something that I am passionate about rather than some novelty for a small section of Gainesville.  After my book reflection, I had started thinking about how I could make my concept greater.  How could I do something that creates real value.  I took this book as feedback as well.  I used it to think bigger about my company and realized that I need to market it as a community effort for the better of producers and consumers in our economy.  I tried to capture that this time.

3. I knew that I did not have an ethos section last time and so I added that.  I showed that I had a customer base and have done this before.  I did not change much other than that from the second one.  I still do not think that it is perfect, but it portrays much more passion than my first pitch.  That one was awful and was in a market that I want nothing to do with.  I would still like to develop this one into more of an investment/think tank company.  I think that there is not enough creativity and innovation happening and so I think that this is a good foundation to achieve that.  This is basically just feedback for myself and thoughts about my current progress.

Overall, I think that having a rehearsed elevator pitch is useful when you are trying to sell your company.  Because mine is based on a service, I really have to be able to portray that I am competent and I think that my elevator pitch does that.  I am excited to continue on this journey because I have improved how I sell myself.  This has resulted in me selling decals to one client, reworking another's social media and website, continuing social media development for my original client, and increasing my abilities for the campaign that I am managing.  Word of mouth is already spreading the work that I do which is how I was able to get the client's media/website, so I am excited about that.  Using this framework, I am going to try to push myself and my company to some new markets using different tactics.
