How do you communicate?
This pitch approach can also be used for just about any business purpose. When you meet a client, you need to be able to do the 15 second pitch, and make it engaging, and intriguing, so that they want to know more.
I am impressed by the video. It doesn't only provide new content but the interactive way is quite impressive.
Good for beginners, but common knowledge for advanced business participants, no hints and tricks or anything special included.
this course has been invaluable in realistically redefining my scope, branding, and marketing. If you are in the same boat or at the start of a new business, this course is a must! Simply follow the steps, complete them as you go along and you'll have an actionable business plan by the end of it. Good luck
