Get your business pitch ready
Engen Pitch and Polish will be in Polokwane to host their free entrepreneurial training workshop and competition on 16 September.
POLOKWANE – Whether you are looking to start, or you have already established, a business, the Engen Pitch and Polish entrepreneurial workshop and competition programme is where you want to be.
Engen Pitch and Polish is now in its eighth year and has helped approximately 10 000 entrepreneurs to improve the way they present their business to potential funders. Having a polished pitch is the key to growing your business.
During the first part of the day, all delegates will be taken through unique, experience-based entrepreneurial training, developed by Raizcorp – described by The Economist as “the only genuine incubator in Africa”.
This year’s facilitator is best-selling author, international speaker and tv talk-show host, Justin Cohen. “Engen Pitch and Polish allows me to combine my two major passions – personal development and entrepreneurship – in a way that effects real change. I look forward to seeing you there,” says Justin.
After Justin’s inspirational message and training, contestants will be given the opportunity to pitch their idea or business to the audience. This is where the day heats up as contestants improve their pitches based on feedback from both Justin and the audience. Contestants must work hard to ensure that the answer to the question, “Would you invest in this person?” is a resounding “Yes!”.
Engen Pitch and Polish, in collaboration with Engen Petroleum, Nedbank, Raizcorp, and media partners SAFM and Caxton Local Media, culminates in a final event held in Johannesburg where the winners of the regional rounds compete to be crowned the ultimate pitch champion of 2017.
