The Art of the Business Pitch


One of the most important things a business owner can do is learn how to speak about their business in a way that excites others. The business (or elevator) pitch – so named because it should last no longer than the average elevator ride – is far too important to take casually, because it’s one of the most effective (and cheapest) methods to reach new clients.

Until you are able to speak an inspiring 30-second commercial about your value to the world and what you have to offer, why would the world want to buy from you? Nobody else gets up in the morning to sell you. The only person on earth with that responsibility is you. So, what’s the secret of an effective business pitch, besides practice, practice, practice?

Join Xtraordinary Women and Robyn Young for an elevator pitch workshop, where you will learn how to structure, write and deliver your elevator pitch in a way that is clear, concise and compelling.

ABOUT OUR GUEST SPEAKER:
Driven by the need to be authentic in her work, Robyn Young founded Brandheart Marketing and Personal Branding in 2009. Robyn is passionate about aligning personal values and business goals, and believes that energy and drive are only sustainable if motivation is from within. Her extensive marketing and branding skills come from 20 years in the marketing trenches, working at a senior level on brands such as Cameo Pantihose, Yardley Cosmetics, Cal-C-Vita, Shell, Toyota, Safari Dried Fruit, Mainstay, Damelin and INTEC College, where she achieved numerous accolades, particularly for her talents in strategic insights and mentoring of staff.

Robyn’s belief that “Life shrinks and expands in proportion to one’s courage” (Anais Nin) led to the creation of her business, which specialises in helping people turn their passion to purpose. Robyn is a regular speaker at SME events on doing business according to one’s highest values and how to market this authentic voice. To find out more: www.brandheart.co.za
