Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. The elevator pitch is one of the most important pitches you can give. Here are some key points to remember in delivering your elevator pitch: Keep it around thirty seconds.\xa0 Practice it to get the timing right. Use the rest of your time to engage with your audience in questions and answers. Talk at a normal pace and don\u2019t speed up or rush it. Rushing shows a lack of confidence in your pitch. Use a conversational tone so you invite questions and feedback. Show your passion and let your energy come through. After you write your pitch, practice it and modify it 'til it\u2019s polished. Replace the filler words with more descriptive ones. It\u2019s important to show the problem, the solution, and the benefits.\xa0 Customize your pitch for the audience by focusing on what\u2019s important to them. It\u2019s okay to have more than one version of the same pitch. \xa0 Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.Let\u2019s go startup something today. ___________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: \xa0 Check out our other podcasts here: \xa0 For Investors check out: \xa0 For Startups check out: \xa0 For eGuides check out: \xa0 For upcoming Events, check out \xa0 For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group\xa0\xa0 Music courtesy of
