If you want to make strides in your business, then ‘poise to pitch’ your business opportunities. Winning pitches translate to robust business growth.
Ryan Robinson wrote a blog that provides insights on how you can pitch an idea to advance with viable business opportunities and how important it is to learn how to properly pitch an idea to potential investors and integrally, to your early customers.
Note that great pitches share overlapping characteristics that can be borrowed and emulated; you need not start from scratch every time. The art of pitching is nuanced and you just have seconds to capture your audience’s attention. So, it is important to frame your pitch to appeal to whom you are pitching to and what you are looking for. Ensure that your pitch has the following qualities:
- Strikes a balance in business and emotional needs
- Uses succinct proposals
- Tells a story
- Focuses on benefits
- Utilizes ubiquitous influences
Build and evaluate pitches that enable entrepreneurs and investors to latch onto the pitches’ perspectives. Although you are selling the same product, parroting the pitch is not recommended as investors and customers have different values and needs; familiarize yourself with those distinct and individualistic values and needs and then come up with aligned pitches.
It is paramount that you are knowledgeable about your pitch, its idea, and framework. You must also be prepared to address questions from investors, providing clarity on why your pitch idea is worth investing in.
The best way you can learn how to pitch effectively is by diving into it and relearning how to do it. This is how you can fine-tune your business pitching opportunities to stand a chance in landing the deal of a lifetime. Do not underestimate pitching an idea as a freelancer, entrepreneur, or any other form of hustler. Particularly, startup owners seeking funds and people with original and unconventional ideas should master the art of pitching.
