Individual Assignment Sales Pitch:

The VA lottery group has read your report and provided you with a new assignment: To prepare a sales pitch in which you describe the main drivers of lottery sales, and in particular address the potential concern of North Carolina adopting a lottery. Your sales pitch should be recorded using Zoom and include all presentation material. Remember, this is a presentation – and your grade will reflect the content and quality of your presentation. You have hired me to run regressions for you using the data provided and the results are in the Lottery Regression Results Excel file (there are multiple sheets in the file).

For this sales pitch, be sure to:

1. Provide a brief introduction – a reminder of the main purpose of the sales pitch and the data used

2. Explain what regression analysis is and why it is valuable

3. Find interesting and informative ways to visualize the different regression results

4. Find visuals that emphasize the most important conclusions

5. Address the potential impact of North Carolina adopting a lottery on VA lottery sales. Be sure to incorporate data visualization for this

6. Provide a brief summary of the work.

You are to deliver and record the sales pitch via Zoom, and submit the zoom link with all supporting material (if you use a powerpoint slideshow, or just a series of visualizations – either is acceptable). I highly encourage you to practice your sales pitch, but absolutely do NOT read from a script or try to memorize every word you say. Be professional, but be comfortable.
