Pitch Perfect... or not

Yesterday was the big day! The day we were told to pitch our idea of EZ Menu to our class. Leading up to this big event, we brainstormed many great ideas, all of which we wanted to include in our pitch in order to get our classmates as excited about our product as we are. However, given a time frame of only 3 minutes to wow our classmates made it impossible to include all of our ideas. As a result, we decided to allocate one person, Eric, to create the pitch. This way, with only one mind and one idea, we believed our pitch could be narrowed down to three minutes easily. In the end, this wasn’t the case.

About an hour before we had to present, Eric’s rehearsal pitch ended at a total of 5 minutes and carried way too much detail. As a group we worked on condensing the facts to present only our key findings that we believed the class could relate to. In the end we had a great pitch ready! When it came down to the actual presentation, along with any performance, nerves began to take over and although our main idea got across, a few key parts were left out.

As the questions began to roll in, it was obvious that the missing parts of the pitch were critical to the audience’s full understanding. Although there were a few mistakes, the class seemed to really like our product and the idea we brought to the table. The questions that were posed were great and really helped us further understand what must be added to our final pitch at Gryphon’s den.

After hearing our critiques, we have decided that we should definitely continue to include our demonstration of the two different dining experiences (EZ Menu vs. Regular Menu). One thing we will have to further explain is the capability of the tabletop menu and present with greater confidence including an upbeat delivery of our product.  This way we can guarantee consumers interest in our presentation and relate to the problems we are fixing with our product.
