Last time someone asked you what you do, did it start something like this? “ I…um…well…” or maybe you said, “I have my own business” or “I work in sales.” If any of those sound like an answer that might have slipped past your lips, then learning to pitch is just what the doctor ordered. Figure out that snappy response to “What do you do?’ “Where do you work?’ or “What do you sell?”

A Pitch is an opportunity to sell your story. Your Pitch will answer the question: “What do you do for a living?” “Why should I buy from you?” “Why should I give to your non-profit?” or “Why should I invest in your business?”

Whether you are working with a non-profit or running a business, this is a skill you can’t succeed without. This is your opportunity to deliver a Pitch that attracts the attention and results you need.

The day will end with an “American Idol-like” PitchFest with celebrity judges Jim Lally, Partner Emeritus, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers; Don Straney, Chancellor, University of Hawaii at Hilo; and Cathy Wiltse, State Director, Hawaii Small Business Development Center.

Not ready to pitch? Just want to watch? $20 PitchFest audience tickets, limited to 40 people, are available on lifesapitch.eventbrite.com.

This special ticket includes the P3. Entry time for this ticket is 2:45-3 p.m.
