Free Money : Week 7

Jerome 

Freisa 

i decided to go to Marston at its peek hours of study for students. im going to stop people walking into the library and present them with the a dollar. i will express that i know how stressful exams can be and just want to do my part in helping ease that stress even with as minimal a gesture as a dollar bill hopefully you can get a snack to recharge and continue studying!!

encounter 1. Emily was walking into the library i stopped her and delivered my pitch. she though it was really cool what i was doing and said th e school should have more resource to students to deal with the stress of exams. it made her feel good about studying and accepted the dollar.

encounter 2. Jordan was walking into the library with headphones. i tried to deliver my pitch and extend the dollar however he didn,t remove his headphones and simply said I'm sorry i have to study and began to walk away. i would consider this a failed attempt.

encounter 3 . Alexis was walking into the library with Starbucks in her hand i delivered my pitch and she was very receptive she said this was a very cool and kind gesture. but was already getting her pump from Starbucks to save it for someone who needed it. in this case i would say i misjudged her need.


overall i thought this was  a really cool experiment. it allowed me to see how receptive students were to the gesture. it was much easier then i thought because it was free money and for a good cause the dollar itself did all the selling for me.

Elevator Pitch No. 2 : Week 7

I kept my pitch very similar to the original version. some of the feedback i received was that the idea was very innovative and the liked how i made it relevant. some of the feedback i received was that they provided me with background info on the high heel to state the importance of this need for women and how long its been a problem. i also received a question for how it would be made or implemented. so in my second attempt i tried to maintain my level of comfort in my tone and delivery as well as my eagerness about the product. i also even when adding in these new info and changes i tried to stay as close to the 60 secs as i could.

Napkin Idea no.1 : Week 6

My name is Maria Yarbough. I' m very skilled in analytical thinking and problem solving. im great with math skills as well as communication skills. i hols public speaking as one of my strong points. many of my aspirations include building myself a sturdy framework so that i can do the things i love such as travel, spend time with family do all things associated with a healthy lifestyle. my plan to build my frame work is to succeed in their corporate world as an investment banker. this being said i would love to be able to help other students get their feet wet with investing and building their own framework. my hope is that "Invest the Rest" with help students become wiser with their money while making a stake in the current market.

Im offering a way for students to learn the ins and outs of investing. so they can understand the storm market. and learn how to move through. the ultimate goal is to make money. the student investors will be given the tools to capitalize on small stocks and predicts their trends. itll come equipped with a user friendly app that will allow them to make purchases track their earnings and stocks just as if they were strolling down Instagram or Facebook.

my market will be pulled directly towards college students but not restricted to UF the stock market is worldwide so there would great opportunities for expansion, we are targeting any student will to make some money will learning to be money smart.

its a know fact that college students struggle. especially financially. this would offer them a new way to create income. They will also gain a new skill that will put them a foot forward when entering the real world.

one thing that will set my business apart is the learning sector not only will you be provided the channel to do investments were going to teach you how. taking the blind fold off of the stock market. in addition were offering convenience by selectively targeting college students and having basically everything assecible from your phone.

one area that i think is a little weak is why should the students care. investing doesn't appeal to all students so it would be challenging getting student to try us out. also students are already pressured by school. so babe another task that they have to learn and maintain could be too daunting  for some. and ultimately would some students loose money which is a volatile possibility.

Elevator Pitch no. 1 : Week 5

My opportunity was a fashionable heel that clips off into a sandal or flat. this will avoid aching feet or those painful blisters. now you can stay out longer have a good time at dinner and stay standing longer then ever before. i myself experience this need all the time and would love to have 10 pairs of these for myself. I know this product could appeal to all ages. marketable to any style.
