When you make any kind of presentation, and this includes an important job pitch of course, you have a variety of core delivery tools at your disposal. These comprise many of the things I spoke about in the previous Vocation Cast, including the tempo of your voice, word emphasis, use of pauses, volume and so on. If you can master them, you’ll soon become a competent pitcher.
These are some of the essential ingredients of a great pitch but deploying them well isn’t an end in itself. They’re all subservient to a higher-level objective and that’s to influence your audience as comprehensively as possible. To elevate the quality of your pitch, these micro elements must feed a triumvirate of delivery skills which are impact, confidence and boldness. In today’s episode, I’ll introduce you to these ideas.
Books I refer to in this episode:
