In my personal experience the pitch success is based on 3 things:

1. People
2. Project
3. Pro-forma (Excel)

In that order. We make decisions with a croc brain and if we don't trust the presenter - the deal is dead. If we don't believe in the project - same story. But here is the thing, if you get the 1 and 2 right, 3 always works.

So I disagree with the line you quoted, Andy. Any imbecile can make excel numbers look good. All presentations look the same hockey stick roses and sunshine $billions in the future future, all alike. And guess what, 99.99% of all those projections are shit anyways. The economy will change, the situation will change - nothing will stay the same. The people will need to pivot and the project must survive and thrive.


On this forum I've been thinking how I can add value. I am not a great entrepreneur yet, I am learning sales, marketing and many other skills. But there is one thing I have been doing for a very long time and successfully - it is my THE ONE THING (referencing @SteveO post from way back) - it is putting capital together, raising money. I love being in the room and making that pitch. And it all comes full circle, for me to get excited the numbers must back me up. My process starts from #3 and moves up. The listener will see it in my body language, in my conviction if I am real or full of it.

I wanted to share this as I know many people here are often struggling with their businesses because of lack of capital. But as @Kak said on his show, it is your job as an entrepreneur to take other peoples capital and do well by them. That is how empires are built. Hope some people find this post helpful.
Don't take that line too literally.

What I take from it is you present what's been done numbers wise, rather than present shiny images of imagined happy people using your products.

“We've got an audience of 1,000, had 50 enquiries, and 10 people have paid deposits.”

Kind of "Tell me what you've done and I'll tell you who you are."
