Above is the link to the third version of my elevator pitch. This time, I had classmates who commented on my post so it really helped me make changes that would improve my pitch this time around. When I read my fellow classmate’s comments on my blog I was pleasantly surprised. Most of the comments about my pitch were positive! The first comment spoke about the length of my speech and my hook.

In regards to the tone, I believe that my product tries to solve a serious problem so I stayed with the serious tone.
