Image is key

This week in class we're working on elevator pitches for our prospective businesses. During this process, I have learned that confidence and image are extremely important when marketing your ideas to other people. When the owner/inventor of a company is not comfortable talking about their own idea, then the prospective clients won't be interested in giving you their money. Even if you are not the best speaker, fake it till you make it. Go through it in your head. Get a trusted friend to listen to a pitch you have, and see if they have any critiques about it. Other people tend to catch mistakes more easily than you can yourself. Also, if you mess up in the presentation, do not freak out. They don't know its a misstep. So, go with the flow. The more at ease you are the more likely you are to succeed.
