For a much more elaborate presentation on how to pitch your business, here is a full Udemy course on how to create a business pitch and an investor presentation pitch, and a slide deck.

The most important thing about a pitch is that it's clear. If it is not clear and the person listening to the pitch does not understand it, the whole point of pitching the business is lost. Make clarity is the number one priority. That is why the pitch examples are so short and succinct. Once you are able to explain your business clearly, you can add various components to your business pitch such as how you will make money, the competition, and more about the product and your company's differentiation.

Remember that as you add various components to your pitch, the level of clarity must remain high. Also, once you become more comfortable with pitching the business, you can try to add humor, make the pitch personalized to the listener, or be inspirational.

Do not forget to stop at various junctures to see whether your listener has questions about any part of your pitch. They may want to take the conversation in a different direction if something in your pitch sparks their interest.

If your initial pitch goes well, you may engage in further conversation with whoever you are pitching. If they are an investor, they May invite you to give them a longer pitch of about 5-10 minutes and ask for a business plan or a slide deck presentation which is usually a 10-slide Powerpoint presentation outlining your business.

As your business grows, you may need to present your business at events. The typical time a business gets to present is about 3-5 minutes. In these 3-5 minutes, you must go over the basics as you would in your 1-minute pitch, and add more depth about the product, your differentiation, and what makes your business different.

After you pitch your business to someone, you may offer them your business card, tell them to visit your website, or suggest a meeting. Your listener may want to learn more about what you are doing if they are interested. You should have somewhere where they can learn more about what you are doing. Even if it is just a basic blog, or a basic website. If you currently do not have a website, check out our tutorial on how to set up your site quickly and professionally. In any case, when you pitch, try to already have the next steps in mind for that business relationship.

To make sure your pitch is even more effective, ask the other person more about what they do. That will help you adjust your pitch to match their background.

Most entrepreneurs don't focus much on their business pitch. That is understandable because the process of starting a business can be overwhelming. There are many challenges, and creating a good business pitch may not seem to be a high enough priority for most entrepreneurs. The reality is that if you are talking about your start-up with potential co-founders, potential clients, and potential investors, then you are pitching your business idea many times every day. If you want to get the best results from those conversations, you should definitely have a strong and clear business pitch that you can use to effectively communicate what your company does.
