Fiver Challenge
Week Two Competition
Week Three Competition - Sales Pitch
What we’re looking for?
Ask teams or children working independently to imagine that they are on Dragons’ Den, how would they persuade the Dragons to invest in their product or service?
They will need to prepare a 60 second ‘Elevator Pitch’ that explains the key features and benefits of their product or service.
Pupils have two weeks (across the second and third week of the challenge) to plan, write and record their sales pitch. The Sales Pitch Competition opens once the challenge begins and closes on Sunday 23rd June 2024 at 12am, at the end of the third week of the challenge.
Top tips
- Remember your goal - What are the key features of your business and what benefits can you provide?
- Explain what you do - Introduce yourselves and start your pitch by describing your product or service idea. Can you add information or a statistic to add some interest?
- Communicate your USP - Show off your knowledge and enthusiasm for your product or service. What is your unique selling point (USP)?
- Check the timing - The maximum time allowed is 60 seconds. Your pitch needs to be snappy and compelling so read it out loud and use a stopwatch to time how long it takes. Practice!
- Your body language - Act confident, smile. Engage with your audience.
File format
