Without the ability to promote their ideas clearly and effectively, entrepreneurs will struggle to not only gain funding from investors to help drive their business forward, but will find it incredibly difficult to find support from industry experienced professionals, which in today's competitive market could be the difference between survival and failure.

For new entrepreneurs the idea of delivering a killer sales pitch may be nerve wracking, especially if the pitch in question involves addressing a large group, or a room full of industry experts. However, perfecting the art of public speaking can open up many avenues for entrepreneurs and help them to create a strong support network of like-minded individuals. By widening their network, entrepreneurs are likely to uncover more opportunities and embark on new collaborative projects which can help to grow and develop their business idea.

To help entrepreneurs become more confident when pitching, Privilege Promotions have shared their top tips for delivering an impressive and engaging speech.

Shift Your Perspective

When preparing for a pitch it can be easy to adopt a 'me, me, me' mentality, after all the purpose of a pitch is for an entrepreneur to convince others that they are worth taking a risk on. Privilege Promotions believe that to make a real impact, entrepreneurs should instead think about how they can help those in the audience, and focus what their needs may be and how they can address these needs.

Emotion

Much of business is conducted on a fact based basis; however Privilege Promotions believe that the power of emotion should never be underestimated. Science has found that emotional stimuli have a far greater impact on long term memory and as such, entrepreneurs that use emotional storytelling in their pitches are far more likely to connect to their audiences.

Practice Makes Perfect

It's not enough for an entrepreneur to simply memorise their speech, to deliver it effectively and prepare for the expertise of public speaking. Privilege Promotions believe it's important to practice standing up and physically 'presenting' a speech. By acting out their speeches, entrepreneurs will be able to remember their speeches better which will give them more confidence when it comes to pitching.

Eat Well

Certain foods have been found to aide memory. Complex carbohydrates, nuts, oils, foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and foods that contain flavanols have been found to have a positive effect on a person's ability to retain information. It's also important to avoid sugary foods as these can provide a quick sugar rush but will ultimately cause sluggishness.
