Here are some pointers for the preparation of your customer (sales) pitch, to be presented in the BEI Program next Monday:
- Refresh your memory on how to prepare a perfect pitch by going through Gian Sbetta's slides
- Define who you want to convince to buy your product / service? Who is your customer? Are you talking to industry experts, or to business people (aka laymen)?
- Define in 1 sentence what is the benefit of your product / service for your customer.
- Keep in mind the KISS principle: keep it short and simple!
- For inspiration, please take a look at this video: https://youtu.be/UCo3Z-y72Kg
