Class pitches last week

I learned a lot while watching half of the class pitch their entrepreneurial endeavors last week. What I gathered as the most important qualities of a pitch include: speaking engagement and simplicity. It remains essential to keep your audience engaged. I think that the best pitches use simple, comprehendible language. Pitches are not an opportunity to show off how smart you are or how many big words and large concepts you can describe. Keeping it simple and using basic language to communicate your idea will always work most efficiently. Simplicity in presentation design and speech are equally important. Graphics and pictures were something that I didn’t include in my presentation but I think added a creative dynamic to other presentations. I will consider revising my pitch to include more visual dynamics. Overall, though, I was very impressed with the word of my classmates and their abilities to articulate themselves professionally even just in our classroom.
