There are many guides out there that’ll point you towards the things you should definitely include in your investor pitch, but how about the things you need to avoid? In this episode, Nick details ten aspects you must avoid if you want your investor pitch to land effectively!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Prospecting and talking to potential investors without building rapport beforehand, is a sure-fire way to reduce your chances of the pitch succeeding.
- Preparation is everything. You need to know your pitch inside and out. Pitching is about telling a story, and every story needs its dramatic moments, so work them out beforehand
- Remember that the pitch is about the investor, not a chance to talk about yourself at length. Think about your audience and research them in advance.
- You can’t always count on the time you’ll be given, so make different size versions of your pitch. prepare a short version, a long version and a medium version, so that you can maximise the impact you have with the time you’re given.
