Your PITCH Questions Are Here!

October 8, 2012

perfecting the pitch

YFE published the chat questions prior to tweeting them out at #YFEchat for the first few months after the chat’s founding, but stopped after a few months to preserve some of the excitement in answering a question as it comes out. For fun, let’s bring the tradition back. Here are five of the questions we’ll be asking tomorrow out of ten, in no particular order (tweet YFE your answers early by clicking on the Tweet buttons next to the quote).

[quote style="1"]Q. Who do you look to for solid advice when it comes to pitching investors? What books, articles, or programs have you used? #YFEchat[/quote]


[quote style="1"]Q. You’re a blogger and want to begin pitching sponsors- what should your audience look like before making the call? #YFEchat[/quote]


[quote style="1"]Q. When is it appropriate to use a slide deck? Do you ever use them? Side note- are you a PowerPoint or Keynote fan? #YFEchat[/quote]


[quote style="1"]Q. When pitching anything, how do you initiate the conversation? Via email, phone, at an event? What does the process look like? #YFEchat[/quote]


[quote style="1"]Q. You want to get the word out about your business in the press: is it best to hire a PR rep or do it yourself? #YFEchat[/quote]

    Good questions (you always have good questions!)! I’m ready to write a few of these at the top of a piece of notebook paper and brainstorm away.
