HOW TO START A PITCH OR PRESENTATION
Ultimate Guide To Job Interview Answers…-Click Here!
Interview Question :
What’s the worst mistake you ever made on the job, and what did you learn from it?
Dominic from https://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

Become more confident in your self-presentation; you’re now able to quickly calm nerves or fear.
You started your presentation exactly in the way yous said it shouldn’t start!!!
“I am bla bla and in this video I will be talking about bla bla”.
Apart from that, it’s a good video and a very good advice.
Because he’s not pitching anything to us
I agree 100%
@@aliyah2980 but the title already told us what he was gonna talk about, that’s why we clicked on the video. so he could have just started telling us from the get go.
@@aliyah2980 He is pitching his idea of how to start a pitch
well he is trying too teach your noob as to start pitching because now you know you don’t have to pitch like that
Thank you! my business development exam is suppose to be a pitch and this really helped

but still thanks for the tip! It was a helpful video!
That is what I wanted to comment.
I love how he’s main message was just enter with a blast. it already got me on the hook sadly it was only 2-3mins hahaha
lol an elevator pitch should last that long so he succeeded in his demonstration
Hilariously he actually begins this video in the exact way he tell us NOT to start lol !
🤔🤦♂️🏽

What do you mean?

Answer @ 1:02
Hi people, how long should a pitch be?
Start with a Bang, was a killer for me
sir please give me an Example .
If a company want to sell a pouch with any person . 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
Thank you so much! Its a great help for those who are beginners or want to practice public speaking. More power!
Give examples, please
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.
i had to look at this for a class and is just wondering how long intoductions have to be?
I agree that Dominic started as he said not to but the info is great. Already altered the start of a pitch👍😀
Thank you! the starting with a story worked with my high school graduation speech-everyone went wild. I really hope it works with my pitching
Start wtih a fact, figure, quote, story, video, music or anything else that will grab the attention and get the audience engaged.
Thanks Dominic
Thank you,I will keep shining
Just Viewed this video and I Have to go back and redo my Ad and Crowd source videos. So thanks for the 100% improvement.
Glad it helped!
