Here are two dos and one dontwhen it comes to a successful pitch, according to Corcoran.
Do: Dress Professionally
First impressions matter, and that includes how youre dressed.
Do: Sell Yourself
A pitch is not the time to be humble.
Corcoran said that being able to sell yourself is even more important than sharing the numbers behind your business.
I should be saying, know your numbers, but sell me on you, she said.
Sell me on your dream.
Let me fall for it, taste it, feel it and want to come along for it.
Dont: Talk Too Much
Theres a fine line between selling yourself and boring your potential investors.
Its important to be straight to the point during the pitch.
Dont talk too much, Corcoran said.
[It] putsall the sharksto sleep right away.
