A 4-Step guide to ruining your pitch

โ†“

One of the biggest mistakes I see entrepreneurs make when they want to pitch their business?

๐ŸงŸโ€โ™€๏ธ They Frankenstein their ideal customer.

They stitch together a "convenient" persona made from random insights, second-hand assumptions, and vague trends:

๐Ÿ‘‰ A juicy stat from a blog post
๐Ÿ‘‰ A random insight from a one-off client
๐Ÿ‘‰ A "target audience" that their competitor is going after
๐Ÿ‘‰ A persona slide they haven't updated in two years
โ€‹

๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ NO.

Here's the truth:

โ†’ When your customer profile is vague, your message becomes generic.
โ†’ When your message is generic, your offer feels replaceable.
โ†’ And when your offer feels replaceable, you lose the sale.
โ€‹

You must use real stories, data, and empathy to build a message that resonates.

And guess what: Your audience can feel when they're not seen.

So, if you want your pitch to work, start by anchoring it in one real user story.

โœ… This is why I created the Ok Yes ๐Ÿ…ต๐Ÿ…ธ๐Ÿ†ƒ Storyboard Method: A storytelling framework that helps you pitch from your customer's point of view:

๐Ÿ…ต for Failure: What are they struggling with?
๐Ÿ…ธ for Innovation: What have they tried? Why didn't it work?
๐Ÿ†ƒ for Transformation: How does your product finally help them win?

No fluff. No Frankensteins.

๐Ÿ˜‰ It's why the ๐Ÿ…ต๐Ÿ…ธ๐Ÿ†ƒ Method starts with ๐—™๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—น๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ and not ๐—™๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€.

You'll get a clear, human-centered story that makes people say:
โ€‹
โ€‹ "Finally โ€” someone gets it."
