Villhard Speaking Series | "The Art of the 30-Second Biz Pitch"
--
This semester, CEO students will be developing two pitches for their business. The first, a shorter, 30-second pitch to concisely describe the roots of their individual business. The second pitch will be longer (3-4 minutes) and will be featured in our Edwardsville CEO Fish Tank competition this spring!
--
This morning, Doug taught students the components of the perfect 30-second pitch. They even had the chance to view previous students' pitches and critique them via an online survey.
--
What to include in your pitch?? Be sure to clearly identify the:
>>> Problem (How significant is your problem?)
>>> Solution (Is it 'loveable'?)
>>> Secret Sauce (How unique is your solution)
>>> Call to Action (What do you want/need your customers to do?)
>>> Presentation (Engage your audience)
Students will get a chance to present these pitches live to our board of directors in January and will record their final version for group critique in February!
--
Continued THANKS to Doug Villhard for his leadership, experience and direction. We are thrilled to have you!!
