If you can’t speak about your business so that others are enthused about it, getting it off the ground is going to be tough. Whether you’re pitching for finance, for new business or making a name for yourself with some serious networking, it’s crucial that you’re a fantastic spokesperson for your business.

You’ve heard of an elevator pitch? Well, if you had 20 seconds to describe your product or service and it would make or break a pivotal deal, what would you say?

Often people lose fantastic opportunities for business or buy-in because their pitch doesn’t hit the spot. And what you say is only part of it! As the spearhead of your empire, you must be able to show yourself as knowledgeable, credible, authoritative and interesting. Sound like a tough job in 20 seconds? With the right tools, techniques and preparation you can do it. Being able to successfully pitch and present your business can bring tremendous results. When you’re starting a business it can be difficult to know exactly how to approach pitching, selling and networking situations.

We can help you.

The Business Startup show is one of the UK’s best and most comprehensive information and advice resources for young businesses - and it’s all free to attend. It’s an energetic mix of exhibitors, seminars, celebrity guest speakers and a host of interactive one-to-one sessions.

Sales 121 offers you the chance to seek the advice and knowledge of an expert while at the show. You should pre-book your session, during which you can discuss pitching and presentation in general, or how to tackle a specific issue which relates to your business or business idea.
