À propos de nous

My name is Michael Voth, and I am a 15-year-old sophomore at Shawnee Mission South High School. Music has always been a significant part of my life, and I’ve had the privilege of participating in both the Marching and Concert bands.
In addition to music, I stay active by participating in cross country and track. These sports challenge me physically and teach me the importance of discipline and perseverance. Competing has pushed me to set personal goals and reinforced my belief in hard work.
I also take great pride in my role as an Eagle Scout with the Boy Scouts of America, which has equipped me with essential leadership and life skills. Scouting has instilled a sense of responsibility to serve my community, and managing my own lawn and tree care business allows me to put my skills into practice.

Problème

Overgrown lawns not only lower property value but also create an unsightly appearance. Tackling them can be physically demanding and even lead to injury.

Solution

Our lawn care services take the hassle and risk off your hands, leaving your yard looking clean, healthy, and well-maintained.

Marché cible

Our customers include anyone in need of lawn care services—from mowing and mulching to tree trimming and more. We offer a wide range of services and flexible payment options to ensure everyone in our community has access to quality landscaping solutions.

Impact sociétal

My lawn care business will positively impact the community by enhancing the beauty and health of green spaces. By using environmentally friendly practices, I aim to create lawns that boost property values and community pride. Additionally, my services will promote sustainability and encourage biodiversity.

Prochaines étapes

To move forward in my business, I would need better equipment to work faster, and more customers to fill that empty time

Nos écoles et districts

Some things that went well when making my pitch were already having experience in the business; however, some things that went badly were having to try and make a quality presentation with little marketing experience.

Utilisation des contributions des contributeurs

If I won this competition for the first prize, I would spend the money on a new mower.
If I won the second prize, I would spend it on other small equipment.
If I won the third prize, I would spend it on gas and other consumable resources.

Merci à nos supporters !
Michael Voth

This was a fantastic pitch! You showed how informed you are about the market space you are entering by understanding and adding in the gamification that comes with your mascot.

Your video is grate and shows how much work you have put in to a Cotten candy business! I did get lost when reading the written submission as it covers skin care products and not cotton candy. This discrepancy made the pitch unclear but a simple update and clarification would get you back on track in no time.
