Free Money

In an effort the give away five $1 bills, I am going to walk up to people outside my apartment building. I live on a street where a lot of students walk by, so I know I will have many opportunities to talk to people. I will try to approach people that look really nice. I have also noticed that I’m more likely to approach women then men, probably because I’m less intimidated by women. To get people’s attention, I will probably just say, “ Excuse me. Can I give you a $1?”. I’m sure this will stop people. I am pretty sure I will be able to give away at least four of the five.

This exercise was very uncomfortable for me and to be honest, I really didn’t like it. I don’t like doing things while recording people, because I know if someone tried to record me I wouldn’t be a big fan of it. I also didn’t like that I almost had to lie to the people to complete this project.

Most people responded how I expected which was that they were caught off guard and thought I was weird. But in the end four people took the dollar which is what I thought.

I ended up giving away some dollars in a friends house to her roommates who also were very confused. I would be very confused if some girl I didn’t know tried to give me money.

There's My Elevator Pitch No. 2

The majority of the feedback I received on my first elevator pitch was very positive. The only two negatives I received was the concern about high prices since it is a boutique and that I used too many filler words in my pitch. In this elevator pitch, I addressed that my prices would be low even though it's a boutique. I also tried to use less filler words in my pitch.
