HOW TO START A PITCH OR PRESENTATION

Dominic from 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

Cheers Dominic. My ESL students will benefit greatly from your words of wisdom. My Spanish students are entering the world of public speaking by creating a movie pitch. Your straightforward and yet creative message will give them the "food for thought" we all need.

@ChristianCaurla 6 жыл бұрын

You started your presentation exactly in the way yous said it shouldn't start!!! "I am bla bla and in this video I will be talking about bla bla". Apart from that, it's a good video and a very good advice.

Secondly, Why would you ask someone on the internet their age, you can't even make use of this video because you dIdN't gEt aN eXaMpLE. And lastly, you are out here criticizing a guy that helps people out for free on the internet. So, when it comes to age, you may be older. But maturity is still a point of growth for you my friend 😉.
