So as of writing this, I’ve finished my presentation, And I’m feeling a little uneasy. I’ll start with the positives, I spoke very well and confidently, I was engaging to the Dragons, My slide design worked out great and I showed what the problems were and explained most of my idea well. What went wrong for me was the questions I had got, Now I had prepared but I just felt the questions were extremely hard. But I tried my best to answer them, But it just made me feel unprepared. Another piece of feedback I got was not actually showing the product. So that meant really how would you get in touch with agents, is there a software. And this is something I did not account for, I went to pitch my idea more than anything, not what would be the actual products from it. Which honestly kind of sucks, I’m a little disappointed with myself, that should’ve been done. As of right now I don’t know, I wish that we were given two pitches, one to explain the idea and the next to show the idea. But of course in real life I won’t get that chance. I think the main takeaway from my presentation is really sow in those little holes of an idea, be comfortable with tough questions and expect those tough questions to be asked.
But there are no second chances with the pitch so that is this project done. And you know what I’m going to back myself up by saying I did put a lot of effort and learned a lot from this, I think with changing the design the week before it was due didn’t necessarily hold me back or anything, I think what held me back was the lack of product or service design. And that is something I am going to take from this, When pitching visualise your idea. I think I did go the extra mile with studying pitches and designing the slides and for that I’m proud but I can’t help but think that, that actually made it worse for my pitch. So from this I am going to start writing out a plan of action/timeline before each project to ensure I know what I should be working on and to see what actually to work on to make my project the best. Another big thing to take away from this would be that, it’s okay! In the future, at your job, nearly everyday you will have to show your work or come up with an idea. And I’d rather make these mistakes now than say in 20 years when I’m pitching a company. So even though I’m a little unhappy with how it went, I know I can and most importantly I know how to improve this.
