Elevator Pitch No. 3




Hello everyone. My name is Kimberly Palo. Today I’m going to reflect on my last pitch. I received some positive feedback as well as constructive criticism.  What stood out to me was the good feedback I received which was saying that I was dressed professionally. I believe that first impressions are important because everything I say might not be heard because the listener doesn’t want to listen to someone who looks like they don’t take them seriously as well as their own selves seriously.
I got some great feedback where I see I need improvement. I was told I talk too fast and that I should work on my pacing. I’m not surprised as I do that a lot when I’m nervous and especially being in front of a camera. I’m hoping by doing these elevator pitch videos, that I can slow down, and stay the same pace. I think I can keep the viewer’s attention interested and longer this way.
What I changed this time around is that I’ve slowed down. I’m working on my pitch as well as my pacing. It’s vital that my listener understands what I’m saying. It takes time to hear something said and then digest what was just said into a meaning. I’m going to focus on enunciating my words which will help slow down my speech. I’ve done some practicing at home the past couple of weeks by setting aside 20 minutes each day to work on my voice pace. Thank you watching everyone!

  1. Hi Kim, you did an awesome job on your Elevator Pitch No. 3! I agree with you that first impressions are extremely important, so you did a really great job dressing professionally and delivering your pitch in a self-assured and well-rehearsed manner. While I did not notice your fast speaking in your previous pitch, I appreciate you listening to everyone’s feedback and taking steps to slow down so the audience can better process what you are saying. Your 20 minutes of practice each day has really paid off. Good job on your pitch and for all of your efforts toward improvement; they have definitely paid off! Keep up the good work.
