Week 6 Test Your Pitch.

Hi I have had an atempt at writing the one page pitch of my idea:

I will develop a company offering a variety of personal development and training opportunities to young people aged 16- 30. The training will be offered in short taster courses or accredited courses, where the participants can gain a qualification through the open college network. I will also offer one to one personal development and life coaching sessions if required.

I intend my target market to be schools, colleges, Local authority youth clubs, NHS, Social Services, Youth Justice and housing associations. They will pay for my services either from any budget they may have for funding, or from external funding sources. I intend to secure funding to offer free taster sessions to potential customers to make sure that what I am offering is what they want. I also intend to do a small amount of private work.

The customers will benefit because I have a wealth of experience delivering training to young people, and will ensure it is done in a way that is fun, interactive and takes into account the learning needs. I will be flexible in where, when and how I deliver the training, customers will leave my training with increased self esteem and a positive view of education and training that they may not have had in the past.

Anu feedback at all, thanks, the paragraph coming soon.

pretty good, to the point yet

pretty good, to the point yet informative enough, did you test it on family or friends yet? i have been trying it on some select family and friends and its all negative feedback mainly relating to the current economy and long term sustainability etc, to be honest im finding it a bit off puttting but i have talked to my mentor and im ploughing ahead....

how is it going?

Thanks for your feedback . glad you feel the info is to the point. I have tested on my family and friends and had mixed responses. some negative, which has left me a little downhearted at times. The process I need to go through to get support is the thing that is getting me down at the moment, I am disabled so need funding for a support worker, but like you I am ploughing on ahead, see where it takes me. You might want to try the enterprise shows run my business link for advice and inspiration, I am going to the one in Sheffield , medowhall on Sunday, but there are others , look them up on the web,
Good luck,

Gemma
