The feedback I was getting from my last pitch was to shorten it up and I tried but I couldn't get everything in and cut the time, but I have become more comfortable in front of the camera and more comfortable about my pitch in general.

21A Reading Assignment
The Art of Social
Media The general theme of the book was to improve the reader's abilities. It gives tricks on how to compose posts and reply back to followers and general ideas on how to create a professional social media experience. The book has definitely enhanced my learning in multiple ways, it showed me how big of a presence social media has on society along with teaching me new ways to connect to customers. If I had to set up an assignment for the class to do I would make them set up a social media account for their products and create a different post on the platform that they think would connect to their customers the best. The biggest "aha" I had while reading this book would be about the branding effect an account has on a product. For instance, the Kardashians have put their name all over social media and have made bank on the products they advertise, but my social media is strictly composed of cute dog videos and swampy memes.

20A Growing your Social Capital
1. Donna Toy- Director of Dry Goods at Publix Super Markets
2. Dominant Expert
3. I want to work to continue to work my way up through the ranks of Publix so I contacted my manager and asked if he could get a list of the three people I would need for this assignment, and he found all of their emails and provided me with them.
4. I emailed Donna and asked if I take up a few minutes of her time to talk about how she became a director and if she could offer any advice to me as I begin to work into the corporate offices.
5. Donna is a very influential person in her department, acting as director she is the one who has the ultimate decision on whos in her department so having her in my corner could put me above other candidates if I were to ever find myself applying in her department.
1. Matt Dryer- Marking Analyst at Publix Super Markets
2. Dominant Market Expert
3. My current Manager gave me his email
4. After a short email conversation, he described how he uses different techniques to predict how the market will change for the upcoming year. He didn't d me a favor or expect anything from me, it was a few email exchange.
5. Matt is a good person to know because he's very honest about the tasks he has to accomplish and how demanding the job can be. If I am able to work my way up to his level in corporate I would go to him for advice or help to become accustomed to the corporate culture.
1. Kent Lambert- Coke Vendor for local grocery stores
2. Important Supplier
3. I stopped him the last time he came into the store to restock our coke products
4. As I was talking to him about the aspect of his job and how many stores he travels to in order to resupply them with coke products I was helping him to stock our shelves and he made a joke about how he should hire me to help at the other stores he visits.
5. Kent can't help me get ahead in corporate Publix but being able to have a conversation when he's in our store shows my manager how great my communication skills are and that looks good when they're considering people for promotions.
Final Reflection:
I would say this networking experience is pretty similar to those I've done in the past, but what made this one different is that I wasn't in person to talk to all of my interviewees. I used to think it was more nerve-racking to met someone face-to-face rather than over the phone or through email, but I found that I was a lot more nervous to really articulate myself since I didn't have the body language to continue the conversations.

19A Napkin Idea No.2
1. I am Megan, a sophomore at the University of Florida. I am aspiring to join my sister at Zeta Tau Alpha and in the greek community, I have already networked and experienced the normal greek functions. Having been emersed in the culture I want to make the hookups that occur to be safer. I want to make a product that everyone feels comfortable using so that students can be better protected.
2. I am offering a condom vending machine, that will be available in common drinking or partying facilities on and around campus. By offering this vending machine it will lower the amount of STD's contracted by UF students. I will also reduce the amount college students spend treating STD's and the amount they spend from other aspects of unprotected sex.
3. The demographic I will be targeting are 18-22-year-old students, mostly those who have affiliations to greek life due to the higher partying rates. But also I'll be targeting anyone who frequents bars in general.
4. It's valuable to the customers because it will prevent future hassles, save money while reducing awkward and painful situations when treating STD's.
5. I believe that being a college student myself I can relate to the customers better than elders offering similar products. By also offering the ability to charge to condoms to your student account by using a similar hand scanner that the gyms on campus use, it will allow more students to be able to buy them while out. The machine will also offer a wide selection of condoms so everyone can find something they want.
I believe all of my points fit well together, being a part of the bar scene and seeing how far some people go I think this machine could really help.
Feedback memo:
Most of my feedback was about placement of the machine and I make arrangments in all my posts and pitches since to have the machine placed in secluded areas where they could use the machine without a room full of people watching them.
