Like all good things in this world, ENT3003 must come to an end. As sad as it is to be apart of this finale, there are a lot of things to look back upon to raise those spirits. I've had many experiences in this class that I have learned a great deal from. The one that I think was one of the most useful was determining our potential customers' buying behavior. The customers are always priority. Therefore, what is more important than knowing how and what they buy? That is the secret to it all. Speaking of secrets, one of my other favorite experiences was finding my secret sauce. Like I have said many times throughout the semester, there is nothing more important than separating yourself from others in the business world. What separates people from each other? Their secret sauces. I thought this was a great activity because it helped each of us find what was unique about us. That is important because a lot of people do not think they are unique. However, all you need is one small detail to set you apart from others, and usually if you look hard enough it is right there to find. The last experience that I enjoyed a lot was the elevator pitches. Not only were they fun to do, but they were a great learning experience. They taught us how to be confident, brief and to the point, enthusiastic about out products, and more. Each time I did another one of them I felt myself getting better. I definitely took away the most from this activity.
You told us in the beginning of the semester that you wanted us to be thinking like entrepreneurs when this is all said and done. Here at the end I think that I can speak for my fellow classmates when I say that I do have a new mindset. It is a mindset that involves creativity, adaptiveness, confidence, and grit. This class has taught me a lot and I am very happy that I decided to take it. I would recommend taking this class to other students who have yet to do so. Like I said it was a great learning experience. It is also a class that if you stay updated on assignments and give you best effort, you can have success.
Hey CJ,
ReplyDeleteI think the elevator pitches were one of the most memorable experiences for me in this class because it forced you to know your product like the back of your hand and be able to tell people what the product does and how it will satisfy a certain need. I think the being brief and straight to the point was the hardest part about it because you have a very limited amount of time to fit all the info about your product that you want to share.
