Today this week we spent a lot of time talking with others like the board, teachers, mentors, and even some alumni. We are all becoming much well versed at speaking and explaining our projects. Mr. P. came in one day and really got me thinking. We had a pseudo pitch type of a situation in which we had to pitch our ideas to him as an investor. It really was insightful just to think about how you go about doing that. It showed my just how much you need to research and know the person that you are pithing your company or idea to. You cant always just appeal to emotion because it doesn't always work. You have to know how to speak on your idea and you need to know how to word it so that the audience is engaged. Mr. Schorn also brought up a good point where Elliot had catered his marketing toward his audience in a genius way. He made his marketing to mimic the short cuts football coaches watch day in and day out. Overall this weekend really showed me how to not only write a proposal but how to speak on it so that you can receive support and maybe even potential investors.
