Pitching isn’t just about rattling off a rehearsed script. It’s a dynamic tool that, when tailored to specific situations, can open doors you didn’t even know existed. Whether you’re making an impression in an elevator, wowing a crowd from the stage, or landing a media feature, pitching is an art.
Let me break down The 6 Forms of Pitching that have helped me land clients like Google and Microsoft, secure media coverage, and dominate the stage.
1. Elevator Pitch
Purpose: Make a powerful first impression in under 30 seconds.
This is the pitch for those serendipitous moments—on a train, at a networking event, or, yes, in an elevator. It’s quick, punchy, and leaves the listener wanting more.
Key Elements:
Example: "Hi, I’m Precious Williams, the #KillerPitchMaster. I help business leaders craft powerful pitches that land six-figure deals. Imagine turning your next pitch into pure profit—I make that happen."
2. Media Pitch
Purpose: Gain exposure through journalists, bloggers, or influencers.
The media pitch is all about storytelling. You’re presenting yourself as a valuable source for a feature, interview, or spotlight.
Key Elements:
Example: "Hi [Journalist’s Name], I noticed your recent piece on women entrepreneurs breaking barriers in tech. I’d love to share my journey as a 13x National Elevator Pitch Champion who turned struggles into triumphs. Let me know if you’d like to discuss this further!"
3. Investor Pitch
Purpose: Secure funding by showing value and return on investment (ROI).
For investors, it’s all about the numbers and your vision. They want to see the opportunity, the strategy, and the potential for growth.
Key Elements:
Example: "Our tech platform addresses a $50 billion gap in the e-commerce market. With a scalable model and 15% month-over-month growth, we’re seeking $500,000 to expand operations and capture market share."
4. Sales Pitch
Purpose: Turn prospects into paying clients.
The sales pitch is where empathy meets strategy. It’s about addressing pain points and offering your product or service as the ultimate solution.
Key Elements:
Example: "I know your team struggles with crafting pitches that close deals. Our program has helped companies like LinkedIn and BMW increase their conversion rates by 30%. Let’s talk about how we can do the same for you."
5. Speaker Pitch
Purpose: Land speaking opportunities on prestigious stages.
As a speaker, your pitch needs to highlight your expertise, unique voice, and ability to captivate an audience.
Key Elements:
Example: "As a 13x National Elevator Pitch Champion, I deliver actionable strategies on pitching and branding that have transformed entrepreneurs and leaders. I’d love to bring this energy to your next event."
6. Interview Pitch
Purpose: Showcase your value and personality during job interviews or career opportunities.
This pitch focuses on articulating your skills, experiences, and fit for the role in a way that sets you apart.
Key Elements:
Example: "In my career, I’ve developed a proven track record of boosting sales by up to 50% through effective branding and pitching strategies. I’m passionate about helping companies like yours drive measurable results."
