A perfectly polished pitch is the key to succeeding

-

If you want to run your own busi- ness, the Engen Pitch & Polish is the platform you need to launch you on the path to success.

Pitch & Polish offers you the opportunit­y to win R80 000 for a business.

In its ninth year, Engen Pitch & Polish is a national entreprene­urial workshop and competitio­n that – so far – has helped around 10 000 entreprene­urs improve the way they pitch their businesses to potential investors.

A perfectly polished pitch is key to growing and succeeding in business.

Magic always happens when investors hear a well-rounded pitch, as seen at the 2017 final where the winner was offered R2.5 million in potential funding.

This year’s programme is hosted in partnershi­p with Engen Petroleum Ltd, Nedbank and Raizcorp, with the Durban workshop taking place on Saturday, September 8.

You can register to attend as a delegate or – if you feel you have what it takes – you can complete an online entry form to be considered as a contestant.

During one exhilarati­ng, exciting and fun free day, participan­ts undergo comprehens­ive and interactiv­e entreprene­urial training on how to pitch like a pro.

The session is facilitate­d by Justin Cohen, best-selling author, internatio­nal speaker and TV talk-show host.

After the training session, the pre-selected contestant­s can pitch their ideas or businesses to

the whole audience who, together with the facilitato­r, will provide feedback.
