[@Patty_k]

Watching this 6years later. Good stuff👏

[@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.

Why is the auditorium empty...?? This guy is so awesome.. the knowledge he's giving is gold..

[@mainpriceakuokoessuman7771]

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!

[@JohnPatrick-mylifecademy]

Came here for the knowledge and joined up for the pitch canvas...bravo

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

7 years old post yet very very informative 🙏🙌

[@VeintiunoDiez]

This is one of the best videos I have seen on pitching an idea, the clarity, the value and the practicality are unique. Well 28:08 minutes invested. 🔥

[@abutucollins670]

This is food for thought. Thank you so much David Beckett.

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

[@houseofyong8682]

Great insight from the speaker, I am preparing a pitch deck and will be pitching to angel investors in a few days' time. This has really opened my eyes.

[@lemonphi]

Wow, this was amazing - so many small details that could make the difference in my next pitch. Also, this guy is an incredibly well organized speaker.

[@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?

[@jessbooth5495]

Brilliant video. Thank you 👏

[@luisvaleriuspasasa8772]

This is such an amazing content. He can compress years of training into 28 minutes materials, gonna implement this for sure in my future work.

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

[@PabloGnesutta]

OMG He is pitching incredibly since the first word of the talk and all the way through

[@frieshania]

Ifkr

[@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.

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.

[@meandthecat4025]

13:12 "Actually, give me a second to get some water" Makes the pause to get water to show his principle of which big companies uses his concept on screen. Nice timing David, very nice demonstration ;?

[@Classicalwonder]

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

[@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.

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.
