One Perfect Pitch
How to Sell Your Idea, Your Product, Your Business – or Yourself
McGraw-Hill, 2016
Aperçu
Even Silicon Valley entrepreneurs have trouble explaining their firms to others. Can you explain yours?
Recommendation
Communication and media expert Marie Perruchet explains how to create the “perfect pitch,” an “ask” that will resonate strongly with high-tech venture capitalists (VCs). She used to cover VCs as a journalist reporting on Silicon Valley entrepreneurs. Now she’s a business consultant who counsels entrepreneurs on how to secure investor funding. She understands what makes Silicon Valley VCs tick, what they want to hear and what will motivate them to invest. Her manual includes a comprehensive set of rules for entrepreneurs, although – in what is probably an editing misstep – some of her illustrative examples don’t quite align with her pitch-building advice. For instance, she says to end every pitch by asking for something, but she doesn’t ask for anything in her “perfect pitch” example. Yet, she offers some good advice for entrepreneurs seeking funding, and she provides an unusual and helpful section of counsel for pitchers for whom English is a second language. getAbstract recommends her approach to anyone seeking better pitching skills.
