  1. 2:00-2:10Theory & worked example10 min

    Laptops closed

    The idea

    Five beats: my business, my offer, my page live, what happened and what I changed, my plan to $10K. The page is the demo.

    Worked example · Kettle & Fire

    Bone broth for busy paleo eaters; 16oz for $29.99; a basic page with a PayPal button; $50 of ads, 30% clicked, about $500 in two weeks; then work out how to make it, on the way to eight figures a year.

    Ask the room

    “Which beat is the one only you can tell?”

  2. 2:10-2:15Group construction5 min

    Group construction: Mo's Bows

    Laptops closed

    1. One beat each

    Moziah Bridges started making bow ties at nine, sewing with his grandmother. Five volunteers each give one beat of his pitch.

    2. Compare

    Play a minute of his real Shark Tank pitch from 2014, when he was about twelve, and name what he did that the room did not.

  3. 2:15-2:25Sprint on your own business10 min

    Laptops open · point students to CofounderJr

    Voice over the template

    Nothing is printed. Read each line out loud with a quick example while it is on the screen; students fill in the same prompts in CofounderJr when laptops open.

    • My business, and the problem it fixes.
    • My offer, in one sentence, with the price.
    • My page: show it live.
    • What happened when I asked, what I learned and what I changed.
    • My delivery plan and my path to $10K.

    1. Focus · 10 min

    Write the five beats with real numbers, set the page to open, and print the QR card for your table.

    2. Save & move on

    Save the work. When time is up, pick and move on to the share; the sprint is short on purpose.

  4. 2:25-2:55Share30 min

    1. Share

    The Pitch Ladder: a partner, then a small group of about five with a guide or mentor.

    2. Give a suggestion

    “I like… I wish… What if…” Name one specific change, with a reason.

    3. Use it

    Repeat what you heard. Make one small change or write it down as your next step.

  5. 2:55-3:00Reflections & shout-outs5 min

    Reflect

    Ask: “What can you do now, and what helped you learn it?” Give each partner a turn.

    Shout-outs · the 3 S’s

    • Short: one sentence.
    • Specific: name the helpful action.
    • Skill-based: say what skill it showed.

    Model one

    “Shout-out to Sam for being the customer who actually said no, so I could practise. That showed Teamwork and Leadership.”

    Walk the room: five beats to every visitor, then “What would you change?” Vote once by QR for your favourite business that is not your own.

Say this “Pitch”

1In the roomCallouts
A made-up number
Real numbers only, including the no's. Eleven asks and four yeses is a better story than an invented one.
Leading with slides
The landing page is the demo. Open it first.
A student frozen at their table
Pitch sitting down to two people first. Saying it out loud matters more than the rung.
  • One I like and one I wish, on the five beats.
  • Coach students to ask every adult visitor for one piece of feedback.
