Preparing for Pitch - Do's and Dont's

In the film series 'Dragons Den' We see many people coming and going trying to get an investment off the five multi-millionaire dragons. In this pitch a couple managed to score a £100,000 investment on the 'Magic Whiteboard'

 The reason they managed to achieve such a high amount of money is because they were calm and understood exactly what they were going to say and were able to keep themselves in a higher state than most other pitchers. They were able to keep their confidence on top of the game and were able to make sure that they could get their points across and persuade one of the Dragon's to invest £100,000 in their idea.

Things to remember before going into a pitch is to:

- Remain confident
- Use body language and facial expressions to your advantage
- Keep control of the situation

Things to not do are
Not:
- Be racist, sexist etc.
- Be disrespectful
- Use inappropriate words
- Let the nerves get to you
