Introduction to Pitching

We had a short lesson in how to prepare for a pitch and how to make a good pitch, in this session i learnt about not what i need to put in my pitch but more of how i should deliver the pitch. I think that most of what i learnt during the session were do's and don'ts for a pitch than anything else.

Dos:
-To present an idea or concept clearly to a target audience
-To outline the unique selling point of your concept.
-To outline other key points - both creative and business
-To sell your team and its creative and professional talent.
-To evidence clarity and professioniusm
-Tell it like a story get them envoled
-Start middle and a end.
-Get personal with the panel.

Dont:
-Take on board what people say and answer questions.
-Not spotting the real destination. keep focus and structor.
-Don’t lecture the audience.
-Don’t bore the audience don’t talk about things that are not related.
-Don't blag it. Be rehearsed.

Im glad that we had this short lesson because most of the don'ts i would do in some way and now i can remember to practice and remove as many of them as i can. Also i had an idea of what i needed to add into my pitch but now i know areas i need to cover and be strong at to get as many people interested to get a better mark.
