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.

[@Patty_k]

Watching this 6years later. Good stuff👏

[@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

[@bobcornelis-282]

Very interesting to prepare a speech focusing on big parts and interesting details.

[@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?

[@vijaymaram]

Exactly to the point! its just gold !

[@venkatesapalanithangavelu]

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

[@njugunahilary]

David Beckett, Excellent presentation, or shall I say training. Appreciated!

[@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.

[@IQYAUNIVERCITY]

Fabulous!

[@olivesakiasi199]

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.

[@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 ;?

[@carolinamaciel5642]

i love it !

[@cottondai]

Great tips. Thank you Master.

[@DavidBeckett]

Hi Cottondai, thanks, and, well, still not a master but working on it. This video is 4 years old already and I have learned a lot on top, still learning every time I work with anyone building their pitch.

[@tonyemariacollections9462]

fantastic

[@hazleyendamarketingdigital8811]
