Pitch your way to success virtually

Throughout all my years of being an entrepreneur, I have always relished the opportunity to pitch and present my businesses. Today, nothing makes me prouder than when I can stand up and pitch my vision and mission for Lionesses of Africa to audiences around the African continent, and the world. Being able to confidently pitch our businesses to potential customers or investors is an essential skill for all of us as women entrepreneurs. It goes with the territory - whether we are natural pitchers or not.  I always say that we are our own best business ambassadors, and no-one can get our message across better than us. Our passion for our businesses, and our knowledge of what we do, and why we do it, can sell our products and services better than any advertising campaign. Over the years, I have had the privilege of seeing so many incredible women business owners stand in front of audiences large and small, passionately pitching their businesses and telling their startup stories. But the world has now changed and so much business is now being done remotely, relying on our computer screens to help us engage with our potential future customers and partners. Our ability to master the art of the virtual pitch is now essential. Talking to experts in this field, one fact remains true - the most powerful way to engage your audience still remains your passion for your business and what you do. Harness the power of your most impactful asset for your virtual pitch - YOU! Now, go out there and make it count.

Have yourself an inspired entrepreneurial day! — Melanie
