From my last pitch I still tried to keep the passion and enthusiasm on a high level. As well as working on my posture and non-verbal communication skills. I received some great feedback Katia reinforcing the non-verbal part of my last pitch. Also I noticed something from commenting on another's pitch and that was to also focus on what is in it for the person listening. Trying to communicate what the investor will get out the deal. Also I focused on creating a bit of urgency by letting the listener know this opportunity is time sensitive.
Hopefully by focusing on some other aspects of the pitch I did not lose some of the other points I was trying to get across. After learning so much about elevator pitches I have found it hard to fit everything into that short of a time span without speeding up to much or sounding monotone.
I agree that it is very important to make sure your pitch is listener focused and not focused on what you would want to say. The pitch is for the listener, not the one pitching. This means including helpful information for investors and making sure to use appropriate body language to emphasize points. It is also good to inform investors of any urgency because that is a marketing tactic often used for products so nicely done.
ReplyDeleteBradley,
ReplyDeleteThat was a great pitch, and its good to see you were able to condense all of the important information into a 1 min speech. You seemed excited about your product which is great because that will draw the audience in. One suggestion that I have is next time you might use better hand gestures to better communicate your ideas.
