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

  1. 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.

    1. @@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.

    2. well he is trying too teach your noob as to start pitching because now you know you don’t have to pitch like that

  2. “I’ve got a gun!” Started with a bang like you suggested but didn’t end well for me. Still up voted.

  3. 0:52
    “well if your’re here today to talk to me about, then talk to me about it, get on with it!”

    also him
    0:05

    but still thanks for the tip! It was a helpful video!

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. Thank you so much! Its a great help for those who are beginners or want to practice public speaking. More power!

  7. 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.

  8. i had to look at this for a class and is just wondering how long intoductions have to be?

  9. I agree that Dominic started as he said not to but the info is great. Already altered the start of a pitch👍😀

  10. 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

  11. Start wtih a fact, figure, quote, story, video, music or anything else that will grab the attention and get the audience engaged.

  12. Just Viewed this video and I Have to go back and redo my Ad and Crowd source videos. So thanks for the 100% improvement.
