Pitch It Right! Timing is everything. Make your pitch short and sweet. Imagine sharing an elevator ride with a potential investor, that's how long you have to convince your audience of your venture. Get to the point FAST.
Simplicity is virtue. Be able to express your idea in a clear and concise manner. Don't go overboard with fancy vocabulary. Use simple but catchy phrases that everyone can understand. A picture is worth a thousand words. Use images that truly represent your idea. Make it snazzy but avoid visual overload. Sometimes less is actually more. Show me the money. Showcase the return to the investors. Talk about your competitive edge in the marketplace and your ability to profit from that. Confidence NOT Arrogance. Pitch your passion for your idea with conviction and enthusiasm. Be humble but not desperate. Practice makes perfect. Rehearse your pitch before a panel of critics. Try pitching to family members and friends before posting.
