 Crucial Steps to Making the Perfect Pitch

Many people mess up the pitch in a number of common ways, from either talking too much about the product to not knowing what the client wants to hear, to rambling non sense.

There are certain rules you should follow in order to give a fantastic pitch.

1. Know the client, do a little research about the client’s needs and wants, and study exactly what they want to hear from you.

2. Know their goals, make sure you know exactly where the clients wants to be, what he wants to achieve and how you will help him to achieve that

3. How will you help them meet those goals? What will you be offering them that other companies won’t? Why are you the perfect person for the job? Show them why signing the contract will be good for them, not how it would benefit you

4. Keep it short, make its simple and easy, don’t complicate yourself and your client when you’re doing a pitch, the less words on a presentation the better, make sure they concentrate on YOU, not the screen.

5. Be professional, but enthusiastic, Make sure they don’t fall asleep, when you pitch, imagine that your life depends on those couple of minutes that you’re out there, talk about the product as if it came from heaven! Make them feel your energy, your positive energy.

6. Provide a link to your work, make sure they can view your work whenever they need to, and so always provide them with a link or a USB they can keep on the side. This will build trust and friendship.

7. Follow-up, always follow up, whether it was a pitch or a press release, people forget, you need to leave an impression in their heads where they will never forget your name or face.

8. Make multiple pitches; don’t create one pitch to several clients! As I said in step 1 always study your client and see what personality their pitch should send out, it’s impossible for all of them to receive your information the same way!

9. Relax, relax yourself, remember, clients don’t want a scared cat to run and hide, look them in the eye, convince them and make them see what you see in your eyes.

Goodluck!!
