ENT3003 Assignment 10A – Elevator Pitch #1


Practicing Your Pitch:

Elevator Pitch #1




Hi, my name is Jared Narzissenfeld, creator and founder of Capable Pencil and i'm here to talk to you today about a brand new pencil that's changing the way people think about all mechanical pencils.
Now... you may ask what do I need a new pencil for? I already have a mechanical pencil. Well... I'm here to tell you those pencils aren't right, they're a way of the past, they do so many things wrong. I'm gonna focus on the two biggest issues my pencil will solve: 
1. When people are writing with a pencil the lead at the top snaps all the time 
2. Replacing a completely capable pencil with a brand new pencil every time the original one runs out of lead.
Most people likely have this inefficient turnover because of the tedious process of carrying and replacing additional lead. 
Capable Pencil aims to change this mindset. To do this we've created a pencil that solves these aforementioned issues by having a maximum limit that the user is able to press their lead out of the tip, this makes sure that no lead comes out that isn't needed, therefore preventing the excessive lead that constantly breaks while writing. But the real edge to Capable Pencil is the innovative clip on the side that comes stocked with additional lead so that when your pencil runs out of lead, you're able to refill it immediately without wasting the completely "Capable Pencil"!
Now tell me, don't you want a more Capable Pencil?

  1. Jared, I thought your elevator pitch was very insightful! You definitley took the Professors advice when he told us to wear nice clothes and look presentable! You also seem very passionate about this product it is very easy to see on your face and in your voice! I thought you did a great job by focusing on the product you plan to sell instead of talking about yourself!

  2. Hey Jared,
    Loved your elevator pitch! You had an overall great presence and you were dressed very professionally which obviously helped get the point across and make it more serious. I liked how you described your product and I really think you did a phenomenal job on the pitch. Looking forward to seeing how it grows as the semester continues.

  3. Hi Jared,

    I think you did a great job describing the problem you want to solve. You did a great job making the problem obvious and how it is felt by so many people. I would recommend to add concrete numbers to the solution portion of your pitch as it helps who you are speaking to understand the extent you are invested in your product.
