Tell Stories
People are more engaged and can relate better when you use storytelling in your pitch. Share real examples of how your product/service solved problems for other customers and the positive impact it had.
The story could be about the origins of your company, struggles you overcame, or examples showcasing your unique value proposition. Stories help make abstract ideas more concrete.
?
Use Analogies and Metaphors
Drawing parallels between your offering and something relatable helps explain complex concepts simply. Analogies engage the buyer's imagination and make your pitch more memorable.
Use a metaphor of growth phases compared to an airplane's journey to explain the stages startups go through.
?
Incorporate Visuals
Creative visuals like diagrams, graphics, or product demos can enliven a pitch and help buyers visualize what you're offering.
Modern buyers prefer data-rich and visually compelling presentations. Use visuals to break up text and reinforce key points.
?
Use Interactive Elements
Get buyers involved through activities like sketching solutions together on a whiteboard, handling product samples, or walking through a prototype. This taps into their creativity as well.
Modern buyers prefer two-way value exchanges over one-way pitches.
?
Customize the Pitch
Personalize your pitch based on the specific buyer, their pain points, and requirements gathered during pre-call research. Use creativity to make the content relevant and capture their attention.
