Elevator Pitch (60 sec)

Elevator Pitch
Using the methods
described in this week’s readings and videos, create a short speech and present
PowerPoint on a subject that you are passionate about. The objective is to sell
(pitch) your idea/subject to your audience in a 60 second video elevator
pitch. Your pitch should be persuasive and convincing. The subject of
your pitch could include:
Why you should receive a $10,000 scholarship. In this
scenario, you want to convince the audience that you are the best
candidate for the scholarship and why they should believe this is true.
You are soliciting a contribution for a worthy cause.
In this scenario, you will need to convince your audience that the cause is
worthy and why they should believe that the cause/organization is worthier
than other causes/organizations.
Why you are the best candidate for a job. In this
scenario, you are trying to convince your audience that you should be
selected for a job and why they should believe this is true.
Remember that these are
brief video pitches to convince your audience to act on something and/or to
believe something. You will want to be articulate, convincing, and persuasive.
You will create a written document to accompany your video pitch. This paper
can be an outline with the key points for your elevator pitch. Your pitch
should be a maximum of 60 seconds

Attached is a slide deck that contains the
instructions in using PowerPoint® audio to make your pitch. Remember to include
your outline in the NOTES of the slide deck.
Once you are happy with your final pitch. Do
not exceed 60 Seconds. Points deducted if you exceed 60 seconds!
In the sample pitch, I made two recordings.
One, simply using the built-in microphone with a laptop. Two, I plugged in a
headset I use at work that has a microphone. You’ll notice a big difference in
the quality of the sound. However, I’m grading you based on your pitch, not the
quality of the sound.
