Wednesday 18th November

▶ 3pm - 4:30pm | Work in Progress - NatWest "The Elevator Pitch"

Work in Progress invites Josh Winfield from Nat West Business Builder Team to run a workshop to help you learn new skills in creating and delivering a 60 second pitch (elevator pitch). If you haven’t got a clear 60-secondpitch, you could be missing out on opportunities to grow your business everyday. 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 we break the 60-second or ‘elevator’ pitch down into its component parts. You’ll come away with a clear understand around what to put in and leave out and how to structure for maximum impact. We’ll give you all the tools, tips and hints for you to crack on with writing a pitch you’re confident in and proud of straight away. We’ll also share some great practical tips when pitching to an audience of 1 or 100. Following this event, you’ll be shown how to enter our 10K Challenge – to get your hands on £10,000 and 6-months business coaching! Sign up and attend to find out more!
