As Summit and podcast hosts, we know a thing or two about pitching. We both receive and make pitches all the time. Based on what we’ve seen first hand, we are breaking down some of the most important things to keep in mind in order to put together a quality pitch.
In episode 80, we talked about the homework that should be done behind the scenes before sending out that pitch so that when your message or application gains attention, those hosts are impressed with what they see from you in #alltheplaces. And while that episode was centered on you, much of what to do in the pitch itself is actually not.
Today, we are going to help put you in the right mindset and help you focus on the right things when it comes to filling out applications or making cold pitches. In this episode you’ll hear:
-How even without having experience with pitching, you’ve probably done something very similar before in the form of cover letters
-The ways in which being specific— and making those connections outside of the pitch itself can be invaluable
-How the emphasis needs to be on what you offer them, not what just what you’ll get out of the experience or what degrees you’ve got
