What is a sales pitch?

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,590
When most people hear the term sales pitch,

3
00:00:04,599 --> 00:00:07,489
they imagine a room full of potential clients and a

4
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:12,020
salesperson or sales team going through a slide show or demonstration,

5
00:00:12,489 --> 00:00:15,149
like Sharktank or Dragon's den.

6
00:00:16,430 --> 00:00:17,389
In fact,

7
00:00:17,399 --> 00:00:22,209
most sales people go through their sales pitch frequently, even on a daily basis.

8
00:00:22,430 --> 00:00:25,739
Every time you talk about your product or your company

9
00:00:25,750 --> 00:00:29,479
to a prospect, customer, or even a potential investor,

10
00:00:29,489 --> 00:00:30,860
that's a sales pitch.

11
00:00:31,989 --> 00:00:34,979
Whether you're on a cold call at a business mixer

12
00:00:34,990 --> 00:00:38,099
or just reaching out via email or social media,

13
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,549
the focus of your sales pitch script shouldn't be

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,110
about your product features or your service capabilities,

15
00:00:45,119 --> 00:00:50,040
instead it should cover the critical challenges you solve for your customers.

16
00:00:50,590 --> 00:00:53,540
You need to figure out their pain points and then tailor

17
00:00:53,549 --> 00:00:56,970
your sales pitch to show how you can help alleviate it.
