Sales Pitch
Theme: Marketing
Grade: 6-11
Introduction
What would convince you to buy these cherries?
If you are selling something the chances are that no one is just itching to buy your product. Worse still, they do not really want to spend a long time listening to your speech on how great your product is. So what is the solution? Ask for one minute of their time- that's right - one minute. If you can convince them in one minute you more than likely have secured a sale.
Task
Your company has been given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to promote its teen product on national television. The challenge is that you only have one minute in which to do so. After one-minute you will be cut off.
You will work in team of four to plan and deliver a one-minute sales pitch. In that time you have only one objective: to convince the audience to buy your product. You will deliver your sales pitch orally and you can use any support resources you require. If you have the facilities, produce the sales pitch on a video.
