The Jeopardy Pitch
What’s that tickling in my body? I am not in love nor about to buy new shoes…
I realised that the tickling started two weeks ago, when I was about to pitch for the Connect Denmark Springboard. I was so nervous. And at the same time so confident, because for the first time I was the one who knew the topic better than anybody else. It’s not like at exams, where you constantly try to seem like you know as much as your professor – where you have to answer all the questions.
This pitch was very different – I was the one who was allowed to ask questions and the ”examinators” from the Springboard had to come up with the answers – true Jeopardy-style! It was such an amazing experience. The board of eight strategists from prominent Danish companies gave us very useful feedback that helped us scope our go-to-market strategy. Totally worth the nervousness…
So my hint to you guys – find your way to the Springboards, or other opportunities to ask for feedback on your business. I did by attending Creative Business Cup, but there are other ways. Go for it! – I can tell you the response and the network you gain is very useful.
