Topic- The topic of this presentation was Waste Management Company. The man pitching his idea wanted £20,000 in order to increase the number of vehicles and also to relocate to a London address, in order to be closer to clients. He discussed the company's turnover's , injecting figures to impress the dragons.
He kept it very simple and to the point, stating what the dragons would get out of it, how much he would need etc. When pitching he had 5 models of the bins to show, and also a 'poster' showing what each colour represents, this kept it very visual and engaging.
Intro- His introduction was very short and to the point. He introduced himself, his company and why he was here. This was good as it then gives people an idea about the person and business, let's them know what it is all about, and also shows confidence.
During the pitch, specifically questions and answers, he managed to keep his composure and answer the questions in a professional manner, portraying a good sense of character about the person and also it shows he knows his facts. He did not hesitate on any question they fired his way. In regards to the presentation 'sticking' in my mind or being 'memorable' there wasn't actually a specific point I remembered as such. In regards to entertainment or more visuals, I wasn't shown too much that I can remember, some people tend to use humour in their pitches therefore making a mark in your mind. So although it wasn't necessarily memorable to me personally ( could also be the content as to why it wasn't memorable!) he used facts in short bursts, adding figures and kept it very straight forward.
In my presentation I want to...
- Keep things simple, not baffle on about my idea.
- Show visuals
- Engage with the people in the room
To conclude, I think this wasn't the best of presentations i've seen in terms of interest or sticking in your mind, however the objects and props he brought along made his idea and business come to life. His way of giving bursts of figures, short facts and keeping his reasons simple for being there was however good, it meant that it didn't drag on and that it was all necessary information the dragon's needed to know.
