HOW TO START A PITCH OR PRESENTATION

  • Dominic from inflow.global here with two simple ideas about how to start your pitch or presentation.
    #1. Dispense with the niceties!
    Too may people start their presentations and speeches with boring small talk. If you want to get your audience off their iPhones and Blackberries you need to grab their attention, so dispense with all the niceties and get them to engage with what you are saying straight away.
    #2. Start with a bang!
    Do something a little bit different when you start your speech. I don't mean anything crazy, so no big stunts! What I mean is start with something that captures the imagination. Start with a fact, with a figure, with a quote, with a story, maybe a bit of video or a bit of music; something that’s going to really get them engaged. You want people to realise that you have started and for them to start paying you the attention you deserve.
    I’d love to hear how you get on, so please share your comments with me in the box below.
    Keep shining!
    Dominic

    Cheers Dominic. My ESL students will benefit greatly from your words of wisdom. My Spanish students are entering the world of public speaking by creating a movie pitch. Your straightforward and yet creative message will give them the "food for thought" we all need.

But that person is a renowned cafeteria with multiple franchises in 24 colleges. the pouch price is 30 INR Max discount is 20 %. but the cafeteria is looking to expand it range of beverages and snacks . Then how to prepare a pitch to that cafeteria to convenience them to purchase 200 units of the company products and if the client wants to purchase 200 units at INR 20 each how will you negotiate the price .if decrease then how to handle
