Pitch Preparation Webinar

The Government of Ontario is offering a series of free webinars to help reboot your export business.
This workshop designed to help you develop the all important “pitch presentation” skills for presenting to international buyers. We begin with what is most important to your customers and business partners – focusing on how you communicate your benefits, features and value. We will build up your presentation and then break that down into a 15-second elevator pitch and a two minute coffee pitch. You can expect to leave with all the tools you need to make a lasting impression and differentiate yourself from the crowd.

The webinar will cover topics such as:

• Differentiation and Unique Selling Proposition
• Identifying Your Brand Essence
• Developing Multiple Pitch Formats
• Knowing how to use your pitches in different scenarios (virtual missions, hybrid, in-person, receptions, meetings, etc.)

Note: If you are a member of the Municipal, Provincial or Federal Government, please do not register via this link.
