I enjoy watching your elevator pitch. You did a really good job gathering attention, presenting the problem and providing the solution. It was really easy to follow you and your ideas. You also did a good job articulating your thoughts and using a right pace and tone of voice. Also, I completely believe in the existence of the opportunity you identified, and I consider your solution feasible and attainable. You definitely would have a big range of customers.

ReplyDeleteYou immediately hooked me with your elevator pitch as you mentioned cracked phones and I am a owner of one. This made me want to hear the rest of your pitch and really pay attention so you started off your pitch really well. I think you perfectly described the opportunity and this allowed me to see how large of one it is. I think your solution would make many phone customers happy. I only see your solution hurting phone providers as this could be too expensive for them to consider.
