Do You Know How To Pitch Your Business Perfectly?
If not, in this short article, Melany Muraour will uncover How to Pitch Your Business Perfectly Using Guy Kawasaki’s “10 Slides” Hack.
The purpose of a pitch is to stimulate interest, not to cover every aspect of your plan and beat your reader into boredom. You really are aiming to have a second meeting. So, the recommended number of slides for a pitch is 10. This evidently low number forces you to concentrate on the absolute nitty-gritty. You can add a few more slides, but don’t exceed 15 slides-the more slides you need, the less compelling your idea.
Title
Include company name plus your name and title, address, and cell number
Problem/ opportunity
Describe the pain that you‘re allaying or the pleasure you‘re delivering. The purpose is to excite your potential investors
Value proposition
Explain the value of the pain you allay or the value of the pleasure you deliver
Underlying magic
Describe the technology, secret sauce, or magic behind your product. Use less text, use more figures, schematics, and flowcharts. If you have a prototype or demo, this is the time and place to get into it. “If a picture is worth 1000 words, a prototype is worth 1,000 pictures.”
Business model
Explain who has your money temporarily in their hands and how you are going to get it into your back pocket
Go-to-market plan
Explain how you’re going to reach customers without having to break your piggy bank
Competitive analysis
Supply a complete view of the competitive landscape. And saying that you‘re “ more passionate ”’ is considerably senseless
Management team
Describe the vital members of your start-up squad, board of directors, and advisors as well as your major investors. It‘s okay if you have less than perfect team, remember, you most likely wouldn‘t be pitching, if your company was perfect
Financial projections and key metrics
Provide a three-year forecast containing not only rands or dollars but key metrics such as the number of customers and your expected conversion rate. Do a bottom-up, not top-down, analysis
Current status, accomplishments to date timeline, and use of funds
Explain the current status of your product, what the next version looks like, and how you’ll use the money you’re trying in the process of raising
