Ep8: The Value in Learning to Pitch

Dear Afropreneurs,

This week has been a really busy week but Afropreneurs do not quit or make excuses do they?

We had to make out time and record the interview with our Guest, Herbert Nderezina, in the car!

Here’s a short profile on Herbert, Click here to read about him.

Today’s topic is centered around ‘Pitching’. Pitching is the attempt to convince a potential investor or customer that your idea/business is worth investing in.

Why do we think learning how to Pitch is important to ALL African entrepreneurs? Its simple, if you can’t sell the value in your business idea/ product / services, the chances of you succeeding are rather slim. What is an idea/business without investors or customers? Nothing!

Herbert talked about his experience pitching his idea to people and shared tips on how to improve your pitches.

It is important to note that Pitching is a skill, you have to develop it over time.

We would love to hear from you, do share your thoughts in the comment section or drop a comment on our Facebook or Twitter.
