You SHOULDN'T learn this for FREE because you might be tempted to DOWNPLAY it but Oh well ONE PERSON won't.
I hope that person is you…
HOW TO MAKE A PITCH THAT GETS YOU A YES, ANYTIME & ANYWHERE.
Who watched or is watching LIONS DEN?!
Like Nigerians Shark Tank?!
A platform business comes to pitch to investors to invest in their business.
That's one of my favorite shows,
If you are a business owner, seller, and something related…
This would be HELPFUL to you.
There was a boy who had a fashion brand.
He's got nice stock, I bet you'd not see elsewhere. It had both foreign & homemade touch…
He walked in, with two of his models who did a beautiful demonstration, and left...
Now it was time for him to talk the talk, (THE PITCH)
It took me just 2 minutes to realize he WASN'T going to WIN any lion over.
And I would tell you WHY!
His pitch started with JUST BIG TITLES(CEO/Creative designer/ Civil Engineer and all)...
These things are not bad in themselves but then, they can't get you a spot on the table.
NO ONE CARES ABOUT THAT!
He went on to talk about his company with FEAR/LACK of CONFIDENCE written all over his face, no energy, and almost felt like he was not the owner...
He was asking for a 20M investment and didn't even JUSTIFY what it is for or what it would get them.
Man literally just threw the thing at their faces...
But you know the sad part?!
He was asked questions and he attempted that thing we do in EXAMS...
Write a long story about B(the one we read) when asked about A(the one we skipped), but these are intellectuals and it certainly didn't work.
At the end of the day, guess what he got?!
"Either you or the business one of them is not investible". and the other 4 lions agreed.
Why am I telling you this?
To make it look like I'm better than him?
Hell Nah, I can't create anything close to the beauties he did.
Neither am I here just to paint my young creative designer black...
A wise man once said;
Smart folks LEARN from the FAILURES/EXPERIENCE of others, not even their own.
I'm only saying this so you can LEARN.
Pitching, Selling is all part of our daily lives.
Learn to do it, It will save you someday.
After the squeeze comes the juice;
NOW, MY ADVICE TO YOU PITCHERS;
- Your titles don't matter, tell us what you have done or show us what you can do.
- Be confident, nobody buys into an idea on its own. They first off buy into you!
-Justify your claims, It's unethical for you to ask me for a dine and not tell me what it going to be used for or better still the results that would get me.
- Always do your homework 100%. When asked a question, answer straight up, no beating around the bush.
If you don't know it, instead of beating around the bush... Tell them politely you don't know it.
Lastly, Be prepared for the worst, and don't let one NO break your spirit...
Figure out what you did wrongly and come back better.
I hope this helps,
