Small Group Reflection

For our smaller small group challenge we were given a team building activity to help us develop our group cohesion, communication and leadership qualities. Our task was that we had to create an innovative product that students want or need, using at least five items amongst a variety of miscellaneous items given by the group that created the task. Once we created our product we had to come up with a name and a description of it. Once that was done we had to figure out a marketing scheme, either an advertisement, a sales pitch, or a speech for example. We then had to use that idea to promote and sell our product to a stranger on campus. The final product we created and promoted was study buddy for students named Tux.

We used a sales pitch to sell him to a couple of strangers we approached in Hagey Hall.

If we spent more time formulating our sales pitch, we may have been able to sell Tux better than we did. Therefore next time, one group member should take on the role of timekeeper so we could better allocate our
