The pitch is a crucial time for small businesses. It's stressful, sometimes adrenaline fueled, sometimes smooth. Make sure YOURS is with these great tips from Entrepreneur.com
Why do great startups fail to get funding? Often, it’s not because of a
business shortcoming or how the entrepreneur presents the company. A
wrinkled shirt or a poorly received joke make subliminal impressions.
Sometimes, a minor flaw can derail the most well-rehearsed pitch.
To avoid killing your pitch and your growing enterprise, make sure you’re not committing these seven fatal errors:
Not Making Eye Contact. Most entrepreneurs spend a lot
of time rehearsing what they’re going to say but don’t actually look at
investors when they say it. Make direct eye contact to project
confidence, openness, and credibility. When do you stop looking? When
the investor acknowledges your gaze.
