Elevator Speech 3


In my last elevator speech, I received positive comments about my introduction and how comfortable I am overall throughout my speech. I thought the most important part of that feedback was the "being comfortable" aspect, as I feel like the structure of an elevator speech is always prone to change.

In fact, I did decide to change the introduction. I emphasized the effects of COVID-19 and how my business addresses them, instead of focusing on my family's background, which I found to be less important during a pandemic to restaurant owners.

    Hey Jean,
    I think that was a smart move on the introduction, it made the pitch more relevant and attention-catching. I honestly couldn't think of anything that you could have improved upon, and you even came in under the 90 second mark, so nice work! If I had to give one thing of feedback, I'd say find something for those last couple seconds, just to stick your idea in the listeners' minds, but honestly I already think your idea is a really good one. I think you've got a pretty great pitch, and I hope your idea works out!

    I agree with Kyle, that the change you made at the beginning was crucial to getting the listener's attention and setting the scene. It reminds me a lot of writing an essay, and making sure to get the best hook. Other than that, you did a great job on the rest and you captured my attention thoroughly. I would like to hear a little bit more about your marketing campaign though.

What’s Your Secret Sauce?

Part 1-  The five things that I feel make me different are the following: Dedication/Motivation: For reasons far too personal for a blog post like this one to explain, I have a constant and burning spot that is always motivating me and reminding me to always push myself. Passion: When I develop a passion for what I am doing in any given moment, there is not much that stands in the way of me giving it my all. People Skills: There are certainly people who find themselves uncomfortable in social situations. I'm the opposite, I'm always comfortable even in "awkward" situations. I love meeting new people and building new relationships. Work Ethic: I will admit that I am sometimes easily distracted. But when push comes to shove and there's hard work to do, I'm great at putting my head down and getting it done. Conceptual Skills: When I am introduced to a new situation or made to learn something new, I believe I'm pretty good at wrapping my head around wha...

Forming an Opportunity Belief

My Beginning Point:      I believe an opportunity exists when it comes to the slow service at Publix when ordering "pub-subs," their famous line of sandwiches. Their slow service is a frequent point of discussion among those who chose Publix's competitors, and even regulars at Publix often complain about the wait times. Describing My Belief :      The unmet need is faster service when ordering pub-subs. There are many people who have that need; specifically, it is deli customers who want a pub sub that most have that need. While the need for faster service has always existed universally, it has recently become more apparent as the popularity of pub-subs has skyrocketed. Currently, in order to meet this need, customers are coming in earlier to order, or ordering ahead and picking up their food when it is ready. I am 90% sure an opportunity exists here. Identify the Prototypical Customer :      Upon repeating this step three times, I fou...

Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No. 2

Parts 1-6      Last week, in part one of this assignment, I focused on three people who fit my segment (franchise owners). I specifically focused on need awareness and information search when conducting my interviews. This week, I conducted three more interviews. One was with my friend's mom who was a franchise owner. The other two were local franchise owners in my city's "town center" plaza. I mostly asked the same questions as last week, but this time I specifically inquired as to their "alternative evaluation" process, how/when/where they buy and what their post-purchase evaluation system is like. These questions included:          "What does your typical purchase look like?"      "What medium is typically used for when you place orders?"      "What is your most common payment method?"      "Who is involved in decisions when items are purchased?"      "Through what criteria do y...
