Pitch it! is a Florida based LLC, that specializes in working with entrepreneurs in various fields ages 17 and above to enhance confidence in public speaking, in particular the areas of pitching and story of self.By introducing public speaking skills and confidence in this area, entrepreneurs are given the tools to entice consumers, negotiate price, increase comprehension and awareness of their market, among other necessities as a salesperson . Through the use of online curriculum, video submissions, zoom phone calls, public speaking and theater techniques, the goal is always to push our students to the next level and push their skillset from ordinary to extraordinary.
The Problem
An estimated 5.3 million Americans suffer from a social phobia, with 74% suffering from speech anxiety.This is having a negative impact on both wages over 10%, especially in the field of entrepreneurship.
While your organization does NOT require small business owners to have a degree, here are a few common problems that the students in undergrad and graduate schools encounter even after studying business for years. This just highlights that there is a much larger need for understanding business than just operations or a one minute pitch. They need tactics and confidence to do so.
A few statistics are:
- When assessing college level students surveyed in a study, 63.9% have fear of public speaking and 89.3% would like under graduate programs to include more public speaking courses.
- When looking at MBA programs specifically, some have questioned whether having an MBA is even an advantage, due to an increase in the amount of students receiving their MBA as well as programs now being offered. The boss of Jack Hammer,Debbie Goodman-Bhyat claims firms barely see MBA as a differentiating factor, unless it was obtained at one of the world’s best business schools.
- When surveyed by the Graduate Management Admission Council, a business-school body, 20% of business-school graduates said that their course did not improve their earning power.
This course not only coaches pitches, it goes through the steps of really teaching and formatting the necessary data and verbiage to secure meetings and contracts. And this is something that both students of business, those crossing over from different fields (such as lawyers entering private practice,etc), and those who have no experience at all learning to articulate themselves.Studying business and knowing how to do management isn’t enough anymore.
