Entrepreneurship at UA: Elevator Pitch Competition

The Alabama Institute for Manufacturing Excellence recently held an "Elevator Pitch Competition" for UA students as part of The University of Alabama Year of the Entrepreneur. The event consisted of a 90-second pitch to a group of judges and a five minute question-and-answer period.

I have to say, the Reach Safety presentation displayed several instances where the speaker clearly had memorized his pitch word-for-word. Big mistake.

He stumbled by letting his mind spit out words that were to come later in a sentence come out before they were supposed to in his "memorization".

Have done it myself and went back to the drawing board to understand why it happens.

Example:

"With someone familiar....would a bystander familiar with..."

The tone is also way too "sing-songy",
