• The power of stories in resonating with audiences

• The need for authenticity and belief in oneself to effectively pitch

The significance of pitching oneself rather than a product or service

Michelle underlines the importance of pitching oneself rather than a product or service. She argues that audiences are more interested in hearing about personal experiences and unique stories rather than products or services. This approach is essential for authors who should pitch themselves as authors rather than their books.

The power of stories in resonating with audiences

The power of stories to resonate with audiences is another crucial point. People are naturally inclined to want to hear about the experiences and challenges of others. This reassures them that their goals and dreams are not unrealistic. By sharing one's unique story, one can effectively engage and resonate with the audience.

The need for authenticity and belief in oneself to effectively pitch

Finally, Michelle stresses the need for authenticity and belief in oneself to pitch effectively. She cautions against pitching something one doesn't believe in or enjoy. Authenticity shines through, and audiences can tell when someone is genuinely passionate about what they're pitching. This passion and belief in oneself and one's story can significantly influence the pitch's success.
