So you want to start a business and need help funding it? Coming up with creative ideas is easy; selling them to strangers is hard. Pitching your business idea to investors can be a nerve-wracking experience and nailing this aspect of entrepreneurship is what often stands in the way of your vision and your financing needs.
A good pitch is succinct. In most cases, you only have a few seconds to capture someone’s attention and get your point across. All too often, entrepreneurs, sales executives, and marketing managers go to great lengths to show how their new business plans or creative concepts are practical and high margin—only to be rejected by corporate decision makers who don’t seem to understand the real value of the ideas. Why does this happen?
