Using power words in your pitch.
Power words help to give your pitch a little bit of extra positivity.
Creating a positive environment doesn’t only make your listener smile more, it will also have a positive effect on you.
And because you will be more positive thanks to these words, you will be smiling more, which will result into even more positivity from your listener.
This works double!
Here is a list of 13 power words you should include in your pitch. They are divided per building block for your pitch.
The ‘problem’ building block was excluded from this list, as you don’t want your listener to become attached to the problem, but to the solution.
Make sure to not overdo it, just pick a few of them. Use these power words in your pitch and you’ll receive a standing ovation for sure!
