1 Choose the right format

Depending on the type of pitch you are making, you may need to use different formats for citing your sources. For example, if you are writing a pitch deck, a blog post, or a white paper, you may want to use a standard citation style, such as APA, MLA, or Chicago, and include a reference list at the end. If you are making a verbal pitch, a video, or a podcast, you may want to use a more informal citation style, such as mentioning the name of the source, the author, or the publication, and providing a link or a QR code for further information. The key is to choose a format that suits your medium, your audience, and your purpose.

Parte fundamental de la comunicación está en garantizar los créditos de los autores que mencionamos y que gracias a la era de la tecnología y de la información, a las Redes Sociales y además ya no debemos de ser tan "acartonados" a la hora de hacerlo, pues lo importante es dar el crédito no cómo lo damos. En mis presentaciones utilizo muchas veces la foto de la persona a la que se le atribuye, por ejemplo, una cita y digo: les presento a..... con esto garantizo los créditos de una manera un tanto divertida.

When incorporating data and evidence in a pitch, cite sources effectively by providing clear references, such as author names, publication dates, and reputable platforms. Use a consistent citation style, such as APA or MLA, to enhance professionalism. Directly link data to its source, ensuring transparency and credibility. Regularly update your sources to maintain accuracy, and be ready to provide additional information if requested. Clear and meticulous citation strengthens your pitch, establishing trust and reliability with your audience.

2 Be selective and relevant

You don't need to cite every source you have consulted for your pitch, only the ones that directly support your main points and add value to your argument. Avoid citing sources that are outdated, irrelevant, biased, or contradictory to your pitch. Also, avoid citing too many sources, as this may overwhelm your audience or make your pitch seem unfocused or unoriginal. Instead, focus on the most relevant and credible sources that can help you establish your authority, credibility, and trustworthiness.

3 Be clear and accurate

When you cite a source, make sure you provide enough information for your audience to identify and locate it, without being too verbose or distracting. For example, if you are using a statistic, a quote, or a fact from a source, you may want to include the name of the source, the author, the date, and the page number or the URL. If you are paraphrasing or summarizing a source, you may want to indicate that you are doing so, and still provide the name of the source and the author. Also, make sure you cite the source accurately, without misquoting, misrepresenting, or distorting its meaning or context.

4 Be consistent and ethical

Whatever format and style you choose for citing your sources, make sure you use it consistently throughout your pitch. This will help you avoid confusion, inconsistency, or plagiarism. Plagiarism is the act of using someone else's words, ideas, or data without giving proper credit or acknowledgment. Plagiarism can damage your reputation, credibility, and professionalism, and may even lead to legal consequences. To avoid plagiarism, always cite your sources whenever you use them, and use quotation marks, paraphrasing, or summarizing techniques appropriately.

Citing sources in a pitch with data and evidence is not only a matter of formality or convention. It is also a matter of respect, honesty, and persuasion. By citing your sources effectively, you can show your audience that you have done your research, that you have a solid basis for your pitch, and that you are trustworthy and credible. This can help you win their attention, interest, and investment.

No hay nada más lindo que citar a los autores que para nosotros son referentes; pues esto nos hace ver como personas que estamos en constante aprendizaje y que tenemos la capacidad de consolidar gran cantidad de información traida de diferentes fuentes.
