The Art of the Pitch – A workshop by ZAK – Lahore

About the author

Osama A.

Osama runs a Social Media Marketing Agency and a Software Product Company. He has been involved in building online communities since 1997 and his major strengths are understanding how people choose to come together and work as strong cohesive units that believe in brands or causes. His team's flagship product offers highly innovative ways to get professional teams to work better together - resulting in significantly saved time in common tasks around getting people on the same page; and also resulting in a greater sense of trust among virtual teammates. You may contact him at hashmi@cdfsoftware.com with inquiries.

In the Startup Insiders session in Karachi, Faisal Qureshi summed up the art of the pitch as follows (paraphrased):

“I may be a very good person, and have a very good personality – but do you give a **** about that? All you care about it is ‘what can I give you in 30 seconds?’ And if I cannot give you that, you’ll just go to someone who can”.

That about sums it up – if you cant sell a message to someone in 30 seconds, it doesnt matter how good your product is, the company will buy someone elses.

Well Zaheer A. Kidvai, aka ZAKintosh is holding a special workshop in Karachi and Lahore to help everyone fix that. This initiative is supported by PASHA, but I think this can benefit anyone – startups ; students ; managers. So do check it out.

TPS and Alchemy are already sending their staff to the workshops.

The Karachi one is sold out – so book your place for the lahore one today.

    Thanks for spreading the word Osama. Just one minor correction. This is not a workshop supported by P@SHA – it is in fact part of the P@SHA Training series. The next one will be on Time Management – dates to be announced later. The Karachi workshop is sold out. Lahore is filling up fast.
