How to give the perfect pitch - with TedX speech coach David Beckett - Young Creators Summit 2016

[@sunilprasadk8493]

The day before pitch model conference in my college, I watched this video and then I created my powerpoint slides. I actually worked, I got appreciation. So, keep in mind that "Simplicity, Clarity and Focus"... This video is so helpful. You can invest your time to watch this video.

[@MB561]

Possibly the single most helpful, concise, easy to understand, and practical/realistic guide to pitching and organizing one's ideas out of all the KZbin videos and instructions on this realm. Well done! Love it. Helps a lot!!!

[@Kiwi-cn9cg]

I couldn't agree more. I've been researching for videos on this topic, David Beckett nails it!

[@paulinewachira5839]

I'm in the middle of preparing myself to pitch a moneymaking idea that I would like my friends to invest in. This video is really helpful. Thanks David for sharing

[@MySpace-Vince]

The best video I've come across that teaches pitching in such an understandable way. Clear and simple.

[@soniaassomull6821]

Brilliant - impactful, entertaining, intelligent and concise - thank you very much David Beckett!!

[@venkatesapalanithangavelu]

Hi David, I am Venkatesapalani Thangavelu , your Impressive Details towards effective pitch is phenomenal - Thank You

[@downloadsgoogle4185]

Hi, David Beckett - Your "Pitch Coach" is in essence & truly valuable - Thank You

[@a3z33]

Great content. Interesting to read some of the negative feedback and how amicably David replied regardless. Despite the points in the video, some focused on irrelevant aspects of the talk. Worse still, some failed to differentiate between pitching and presenting for other purpose; as in this instance. He's given 30 minutes to provide some coaching for us who need to pitch; he wasn't pitching to that audience. If anything it was a convincing marketing pitch for his service. I'll definitely incorporate his suggestions into my next pitch preparation. Thank you David.

[@DavidBeckett]

That is really kind, thanks so much for taking the time to point out the difference between a pitch, and a talk about pitching! Very much appreciated.

[@jaspernordemann5320]

Thank you, David, I just wrote my company's pitch based on your structure and your tips. Friday morning is my first performance. Fingers crossed

Sorry never noticed this. This was my mom posting this comment. She said it went well.

[@livetodrive1283]

Very good information and presentation. I do have to agree with another commenter, the sound quality was so bad I almost didn't make it to the end. I think it was worsened because I had to listen with headphones, but it's worth sticking it out and watching the video.

[@kabalisaulu8157]

Best video with examples on why and how to give the perfect pitch.

[@oaanouar]

This gentleman has a mix of Alain de Botton's precision and Adam Grant passion ....totally loved the video!!!!

[@varunpaulson4799]

Smart that he paused for a water break. Right at that partners slide.

[@Joelevans7]

haha I had to check the comments to see if someone noticed what he did

[@DavidBeckett]

I only just saw this comment - and wish I had been clever enough to plan to do what you mention here! Unfortunately, it was a only a 'happy co-incidence'...

Loud background chatter is super disrespectful …

[@DustinMillerPolyInnovator]

What is with the audio, it is switching hemispheres over and over. Like a bad fake 3d audio effect. It is almost painful to listen to despite the guy being super interesting.

[@DavidBeckett]

you're right Dustin - on headphones it does do your head in a bit! But on computer speakers it sounds OK. Thanks for the positive feedback about the content.

[@DustinMillerPolyInnovator]

@@DavidBeckett no problem David. I had this video saved for a while, and so when I got to it I was surprised with the audio. Glad it works on speakers.

[@urbanstreetforest5322]

Johan Cruijff never talked nonsense, not everybody could understand ehat he said, so it sounded nonsense to them!!

[@audreynalinerush]

"Pitch no longer than 7 minutes" ...proceeds to present for 27 minutes.

[@rafaagoes]

That was not intended to be a pitch, dear.

[@audreynalinerush]

@@rafaagoes In the context of him talking about wasting time at 1-hour company presentations right after he makes this point, his attention-span commentary wasn't strictly about literal pitches, dear.

[@dragos_keeps_rolling]

That's an educational presentation, not a pitch.

Elevator Pitch: The art of making a quick sales pitch to someone who is on an elevator with you. For true sales pros, the elevator pitch is much shorter, as when you are pitching the value of your worthless life to God as you are falling down an elevator shaft. from Dr. Mezmer’s Dictionary of Bad Psychology, at doctormezmer.com

[@fredwaldron3325]

talked a lot about shortening, condensing, and losing people with a short attention span, while simultaneously lengthening, and expanding. Seems to my own little attention span that he droned on endlessly. Maybe it's just me...

[@oneeyedpapi8058]

what field of sales are you in? I'm new to the sales profession and a bit frightened of saying the wrong thing and fumbling the whole process. I'm not scared of rejection but dealing with high ticket sales is what scares me. I own a small business where I deal with B2B and B2C but on a small scale of no more than $200 deals and I LOVE to pitch to people but when it comes to the thought of pitching a $10k deal it makes my stomach hurt. How did you get over that feeling if you ever came across it?

[@216aryeh]

great video, great content BUT the sound quality drove me crazy, bouncing back and forth and static hell.

Most useful pitch video I’ve watched (I’ve watched a LOT 😜) and thankfully most of it is what I’m already doing, but he’s clarified 1000% for me how to streamline it.

[@maciejnejman5126]

I really recommend to watch it from start to the very end. A fantastic way presenting ideas of how the good pitch should look like. Greetings from Poland.

[@ozanyokuva6930]

People could not find time to tell you the audio is so badly skipping sides that makes it impossible to concentrate on what you are saying. Probably they were too busy telling what a great presentation it is.

[@billso6375]

Speakers who wear black t-shirts for a presentation are trying too hard to "look cool". Lacks credibility. and is disrespectful to audience. Some say it is the message but if someone was wearing their pajamas you would dismiss them. Appearance is important. Not everyone is Steve Jobs.

[@sunoobshahran8498]

He looks ordinary but his knowledge is extraordinary

[@DavidBeckett]

Haha, thanks Sunoob! That's actually the intention - a neutral look, so that people can focus on the content. Good luck with your pitch!
