Notesfor Facilitation
 Telltheparticipantstofollowthesestepstocreateagreatpitch,butbearinmindthatyou'llneedtovaryyour
approachdependingonwhatyourpitchisabout.
1. Identify YourGoal: Startbythinkingabouttheobjectiveofyourpitch.Forinstance,doyouwanttotell
thepotentialclientsaboutyourorganization?Doyouhaveagreatnewproductideathatyouwantto
pitchtoanexecutiveordoyouwantasimpleandengagingspeechtoexplainwhatyoudoforaliving?
2. Explain What You Do: Start your pitch by describing what your organization does. Focus on the
problemsthatyousolveandhowyouhelppeople.Askyourselfthisquestionasyoustartwriting:what
doyouwantyouraudiencetoremembermostaboutyou?Keepin mindthatyourpitchshouldexcite
youfirst.Afterall,if youdon't getexcitedaboutwhatyou'resayingneitherwillyouraudience.People
maynotremembereverythingthatyousay,buttheywilllikelyrememberyourenthusiasm.
3. Communicate Your USP: Your elevator pitch also needs to communicate your unique selling
proposition or USP.Identify what makesyou, your organization or your idea unique. You'll want to
communicateyourUSPafteryou'vetalkedaboutwhatyoudo.
4. Engage with a Question: AfteryoucommunicateyourUSP,youneedto engageyouraudience.Todo
this,prepareopen-endedquestions(questionsthatcan'tbeansweredwitha"yes"or"no"answer)to
involvethemin the conversation.Makesurethat you're ableto answeranyquestionsthat heor she
mayhave.
5. Put it all Together: Whenyou'vecompletedeachsectionof yourpitch,putit alltogether.Then,readit
aloud and use a stopwatch to time how long it takes. It should be no longer than 20-30 seconds.
Remember,theshorteritis,thebetter!
