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 or amazing and insightful.
- I didn't do the second elevator pitch so my feedback was very limited. Regardless, on my first pitch, I did receive two positive comments and and one of them offered very helpful feedback. One of the comments stated that I should use more my hands more when I speak.
3) What did you change, based on the feedback?
Third time's the charm, as they say. I bet you find a few things different from the first time, including: (a) it's almost memorized, (b) you're far more comfortable in front of the camera, and (c) the pitch itself is better. If this is or isn't true for you, please include this in your reflection!
- Based on the feedback I got for the first pitch, I tried to use more hand gestures to avoid standing idly/awkwardly. Overall, however, I decided to keep the pitch the same.
I think that the content of your pitch is good. You mentioned that your feedback was regarding hand motions? I think body language is important but should be taken overboard. Slight body language such as using your hand to count when listing what your product is good for, like in the beginning of your pitch is great. I think that maybe for next time you could just work on using less filler words and looking and sounding more confident and impressed by your own product.
