Pitching

[DaveS]

How well do you deal with pitching and presenting nerves? Watch some of the South West’s top business talent pitching to a panel of business experts in The Pitch 2009 competition, and see how it’s done. http://www.businesszone.co.uk/pitch

Dave,

Can I suggest that you take a few minutes to maybe introduce yourself rather than just sign up to post a link I think you'll find people more receptive that way!

Mmm... the link doesn't work anyway.

Sorry about the link not working here is a new one

Without particularly wanting to be negative or confrontational I can't say that I see anything at all special here..... :confused1: Their presentation is certainly to the standard you would expect, quite professional they know their stuff etc... But so they should... :001_rolleyes:

I appreciate that people often don't have the confidence to talk to an audience like this. It's a skill that has to be learned, but we've all seen pitches and presentations before. What's so special about this one? What are we supposed to be learning from it?

The video BTW is diabolical! What is it with people that simply don't know how to use a set of lights or frame a picture or when (NOT!) to move a camera??? This is obviously a set-up shoot (as opposed to something just grabbed on the fly).... It's not somewhere they had no control over the lighting.... Presumably the people who made it are presenting themselves as professionals? (and if not why did the people behind it not hire the right people for the job?)...

Sorry Dave I'm not impressed....

You've made three posts here so far. The first just a link (that didn't work) to a sales pitch video that isn't competent. On the second you didn't even have the good grace to take 's gentle hint... And the third is yet another link to a sales pitch....:001_rolleyes: which yet AGAIN doesn't even work....

Not a particularly impressive start......
