Crafting Effective Pitches and Presentations
Crafting an effective pitch or presentation involves understanding the audience and focusing on key messages and feelings. A trailer pitch, with a 30-second hook and two and a half minutes to prove a point, can engage and leave a lasting impression. The toilet deck, meant to be read without the presenter, provides additional information and allows for better comprehension. By defining the key messages, measuring word count, and considering the desired emotions, pitches can be tailored to specific scenarios. It is important to have separate decks for presentations, meetings, and decision-making, with concise asks and time constraints to ensure efficiency.
