Dominic from https://inflow.global here with two simple ideas about how to start your pitch or presentation. #1. Dispense with the niceties! Too may people start their presentations and speeches with boring small talk. If you want to get your audience off their iPhones and Blackberries you need to grab their attention, so dispense with all the niceties and get them to engage with what you are saying straight away. #2. Start with a bang! Do something a little bit different when you start your speech. I don't mean anything crazy, so no big stunts! What I mean is start with something that captures the imagination. Start with a fact, with a figure, with a quote, with a story, maybe a bit of video or a bit of music; something that’s going to really get them engaged. You want people to realise that you have started and for them to start paying you the attention you deserve. I’d love to hear how you get on, so please share your comments with me in the box below. Keep shining! Dominic WEBSITE: https://inflow.global BLOG: https://www.inflow.global/blog/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/dominiccolenso

They struggle to describe their go-to-market strategy in a clear and focused manner. Usually, when startups are asked about their go-to-market strategy they’d answer something like: “we’re doing direct sales” or “we’ll do online sales.” That’s not a go-to-market strategy. Those are sales tactics. Let’s dive in so you know how to tackle this and blow investors away. #startups #Slidebean #pitchdeck 0:00 - Intro 0:37 - Go to market strategy: Basics 1:32 - Go to market strategy: Startups need to focus 4:11 - Go to market strategy: The initial customer segment litmus test --- FREE Go-to-market strategy template: https://youtube.slidebean.com/gtm-strategy-template?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=pitchdeckerrors Subscribe to @DreamItVentures's YouTube Channel!
