https://youtu.be/B9qItYdO1rY The most useful and insightful feedback I received was the recognition for my fear tactic that I had used in my first elevator pitch. A peer told me that it grabbed their attention immediately and made my cause appear more important. With that being said, I decided to again use the same tactic in my pitch and emphasis it more the 2 nd time around. I was also told that in my performance, I needed to be more serious about the beginning issues I state, so I tried changing my attitude a bit for the beginning of my pitch.

My prototypical customer would hold these details: A woman in her early twenties who has a love for the planet and those who inhabit it. This customer takes the time in their everyday life to reduce their carbon footprint. They recycle, take short showers, buy water filter pitchers instead of single use plastics, and they have a desire to only use renewable energy. My customer drives an electric car in order to not contribute to the burning of fossil fuels. They do not have children yet, but they fear the future that is being left behind for them. As for politics, this customer tends to lean towards democrats, because of their active support in helping the environment. They cannot sign for a party that constantly denies the effects of climate change. This customer and I both share a "bigger picture" for the future of humanity. We understand that to ensure our species survival, we must look at what we are currently doing to the planet, and act on it.

I interviewed three people who live in the Los Angeles area, while I was there for a short trip. Interview No.1:                 Based on the alternatives of renewable energy available in today’s technology, the first person I interviewed said it would be impractical to invest in wind or hydro power for individual purpose. “Unless the city is installing mega turbines or LA somehow gets water for a change, solar is the best route.” When asked if they had to choose an alternative the interviewee chose hydro power, but mentioned he would need to invest in moving his home elsewhere to obtain the alternative. This buyer is more likely to buy online instead of going to an actual store, and says he would rather pay cash up front for the product, stating “oh I’ve got the money for solar panels; it’s just about finding reliable ones.” When thinking back to their purchases, this buyer thinks about the return on inves...

1.       To keep up with the requirements in this course I’ve developed an extroverted behavior towards talking to people. Because I’ve had to interview various people I’ve had to become more comfortable with approaching someone and talking to them out of the blue. This developed behavior has enabled me to complete the assignments with ease and look forward to the next time I’ll have to interview someone. 2.       When I first started my Business Law class this semester I was a bit put off by the fact that the only grades in the class were the 3 exams you had to take. After a month of reading the textbook and trying to grasp the concepts of law I felt overwhelmed by all the information and thought there would be no way I could pass the exam, feeling like I should give up. After talking to my sister, she put my mind right and helped me see the class as a learning opportunity and not a passing grade one. Since then I have developed a...

The book I read was “Elon Musk” by Ashlee Vance. This book focuses on the world renowned entrepreneur of our time. What had surprised me the most about Elon was his ability to remember 2 encyclopedias using his photographic memory as a child. What I most admired about the Tesla founder was his overall goal when pursuing anything in life. Musk’s overall goal is to save humanity and preserve the life of mankind. What I least admired was how the company Tesla is known for making consistent negative profit every year, needing government funds to stay afloat. When Elon was a child he faced problems both at home and at school. While his parents had a toxic relationship which would affect him emotionally, he would be bullied by his peers at school. His solution was to turn to reading and that is what helped grow the great mind we know today.             Elon Musk has a competency to always strive for progress. Progress in technology, ...

The segment I have chosen is home owners is Gainesville, under GRU (Gainesville Regional Utilities) contracts, who want a different source for their electricity. Interview 1 Need Awareness: The first individual I interviewed stated that the need arises when having to pay the utility bill on the 20 th of every month. The largest portion of the bill is always electric and most of the power used is believed to be from the A/C unit. When leaving the house to visit family, which is done for weeks at a time, this individual notices that the electric bill goes significantly lower than when they’re home. Since Gainesville can get pretty hot most of the year, this homeowner is required to have the A/C running at all times. When looking at the bill on the 20 th , this person becomes aware that they need a solution to the high rates for electricity for their home. Information Research: When becoming aware of this need, the first thing they do is look online if there’s any way to lower ...

1.        My name is Carlos Leon and I am currently studying business administration at the University of Florida. My talents include writing, math, and critical thinking. My skills and experiences derive from a previous job I had as an administrative assistant, which prepared me to be organized and approachable. If my business got rolling, I would be taking part in helping the health of the planet and it would push me to further improve on the size of my carbon footprint. 2.        The product I am providing to customers is solar integrated machinery that can provide electrical power to their everyday needs, including their homes and cars, to take away from the use of burning fossil fuels. 3.        This product is being offered to customers who are conscientious about the harm on the planet non-renewable energy furnishes and then deciding to participate in efforts to change those effect...
