Elevator Pitch No. 1

The opportunity I have is linked to the interviews I did last week.  Most of the people I talked to said that charger cable length was an issue for them and something they would pay more to fix.  It has been problematic for me as well, and I would love a longer charger cord!  So I thought of a plan to fix this issue.  My imaginary company "Smart Tools" will create a retractable charger for phones, and will have a longer length than standard cables that come with phones.  Here is my elevator pitch for this new product.

  1. Ryan, this is such a professional elevator pitch, I am so impressed. I can tell you feel very seriously and passionately about this opportunity. You talked like you knew exactly what you were talking about, and if I didn't know any better, I actually would've been convinced of your company. I also love the product idea. I use longer chords than standard for charging, but I always run into the issue of having too much chord at times, or very inconvenient traveling options with such a long chord. The retractability is a great add on. Great pitch! My pitch deals with convenient grocery shopping, check it out: http://rachelsentrepreneurship.blogspot.com/2016/02/elevator-pitch-no-1.html

  2. Ryan, I like your idea about a retractable charger chord. I think that you are on the right track as far as being able to have an adjustable chord length to fit the situation. I also think that you could market it either directly to the customers or to the phone carriers such as AT&T or Verizon and have them sell the product.
    Here is my pitch if you would like to look at it.

  3. Wow, Ryan

    Your elevator pitch has me sold. Companies should have been figured out a solution to the short phone cord issue. I'm glad to see you take the initiative in your idea. Your pitch outlined the problem in a way that relates to the audience and allows you to further draw them in.
