Have A Brew With Enterprising You!
Come along to our monthly women in business coffee mornings and take time to perfect your pitch!
This month we will have a special speaker, Natalie Hughes, Local Enterprise Manager from NatWest Group, who will talk about business pitching. If you haven’t got a clear 60-second pitch, you could be missing out on opportunities to grow your business every day. Even in such uncertain times, you never know when the opportunity to support others may arise, so it is important to be able to explain your business quickly and simply.
Join the NatWest Business Builder team as they break the 60-second or ‘elevator’ pitch down into its component parts. You’ll leave the session with a clear understanding of what to put in and leave out and how to structure for maximum impact. You will also be given all the tools, tips and hints to crack on with writing a pitch you’re confident in and proud of straight away. Natalie will also share some great practical tips when pitching to an audience of 1 or 100.
We’ll then have some time to practice with lots of time afterwards for networking in groups online. Make sure you take some time before the meeting to get down in a document the things you want to say about your business and your social media and contact details. You’ll be able to improve that after the talk and have your details ready to share!
The session will be conducted via a video conferencing platform and joining details will be sent closer to the time by email.
