Great elevator pitch Amanda! This idea is great. Every year on the news I hear about a child who dies in the car from being left there. Most of the time, the parents simply forget that the child was in the back of the car. This device connected to your smart phone will save lives and that is what makes your product so great. Parents all over the U.S. will buy this product just in case they ever face this problem. Your consumers will buy this even though they know they would not leave their child in the car because it helps secure in their minds that they will never make this mistake.
I remember the first time I felt dread about doing an assignment, was with the fourth assignment, Forming an Opportunity Belief. It was difficult for me to think of an idea and then find people to interview. I wasn’t yet comfortable approaching and interviewing people. I think my first elevator pitch is definitely the experience I will remember for years. I was so nervous because I hate talking to a camera and I can get shy and quiet. I think I’m most proud of my elevator pitch because of those reasons. After doing it three times, I still get nervous but not as much. My most joyous experience was working on the assignment, ‘What’s Your Secret Sauce?’. It was nice to be able to hear what my closest family and friends think of me, that doesn’t happen often. I can’t see myself as an entrepreneur right now since I haven’t actually started any business concept but I do have the mindset already. I find myself always questioning target markets and potential customers when thinkin...
Throughout this course, I’ve interviewed parents and caregivers on the idea of a sensor device to prevent child heatstroke in vehicles. With this assignment, I interviewed 3 different parents and provided them with alternatives instead of a sensor device. The alternatives were a wearable smart device for their child, or my original product which is a sensor device placed inside the vehicle. 1) Find three people who would fit that segment and arrange to interview them. Just like last time, these interviews, if conducted properly, should take about 10-15 minutes. Any less, and you won't be able to obtain adequate information. These three people may NOT be the same people you interviewed last time. Interviewee #1: Father of 2 Interviewee #2: Mother of 1 Interviewee #3: Mother of 4 2) Begin with alternative evaluation. In the last case exercise, you determined how customers sought information related to solving their need. The outcome of this step is to produce a ...
1. Airlines were accused of price gouging before Irma. Some are capping fares before Maria http://www.miamiherald.com/news/weather/hurricane/article174123916.html#storylink=cpy Florida Senator, Bill Nelson, reached out to 10 major airlines in hopes that they will lower and cap their airfares for people that will be affected by Hurricane Maria which is now recorded as a Category 5. Airlines before Hurricane Irma increased their prices for airfare to thousands of dollars due to the large demand for flights out of Florida. They were later capped at just $99 after many people complained. American Airlines and United Airlines plan to cap prices through Sunday for cities in the Caribbean that will be impacted also sending larger aircrafts with more seats to these Caribbean islands. The problem in this story is that many airlines price gouge their airfare in the wake of natural disasters knowing that residents will buy tickets to evacuate. This is completely une...
