Elevator Pitch No. 4

1) The pitch.

Opportunity

My Wife and Children are avid pinners on Pinterest and various other craft sites and apps.  The issue we face constantly is that one cool project that we see and immediately want to try. The only issue is, a lot of the projects call for tools that we don’t currently own or have never used before.  This leads us to buying or renting tools we may never use again, and worst of all have no idea how to use.

Solution

The solution to this problem lies in this opportunity that I am here to present to you today.  My Companies name is called “Nailed it!” and the opportunity that it presents will revolutionize Pinners, DIYers and craft junkies everywhere.  We will offer a warehouse size workshop, filled with the latest tools and gadgets, big and small, required for completing any project that you can imagine.  This workshop will be staffed by trained professionals who can instruct and guide individuals with no experience in these fields on how to safely and successfully use the equipment.   Need a table saw to rip sheets of plywood to complete that latest closet hack?  Want to have birthday party for your child and all their friends were they can complete a project?  College students, trying to decorate your dorm room and need access to tools that you don’t own?  No problem, we have them and will gladly show you how to use them.  Come down and visit our supply shop stocked with the most popular sizes of lumber used in most projects. We even offer a project of the week, which will help people gain new techniques or introduce them to skills that they have never performed before.  These classes are perfect for the beginner or anyone who may want to try something out before investing a lot of time and money into it.

For a flat hourly rate you can come in to our workshop, safely perform your project and then take it home to enjoy.  We will take care of the clean-up, and have professionals standing by to ensure that at the end of your next project that you “Nailed It!”

2) A reflection on the feedback you received from your last pitch. 

 The feedback that I received from the last pitch again was very positive.  Everyone continues to think that I have a great business idea and they have continued to help add to the concept.  I received certain feedback that suggested a possible need by consumers for supplies.  After further thought into this, I have decided to add an additional service to the warehouse.  This would be a shop area, where limited building materials and supplies could be purchased.  This would not be a fully stocked shop, obviously that would take more space and overhead than is reasonable. However, the most popular types of lumber, and supplies would be available for purchase.  Additional types of classes were recommended and during another project I received a suggestion for birthday parties.  I appreciated everyone’s time and efforts that were put into the feedback.

3) What did you change, based on the feedback?

In addition to the changes suggested last pitch, I added in the shop for the purchase of materials and supplies.  I also added in the suggestion of birthday parties and team building events.
