How to Create a Video Pitch That Actually Connects

These days, your elevator pitch doesn’t just happen in a hallway or at a conference—it happens on video. And that’s a good thing. Video gives people a chance to see your personality, hear your voice, and get a feel for who you really are before they ever meet you.

But let’s be honest: recording a pitch that feels natural, looks great, and keeps people watching can feel intimidating. So we pulled together a few simple, practical tips to help you create a video pitch that feels genuine, stands out, and makes people want to work with you—without needing fancy gear or a film crew.

1. Grab attention in the first few seconds

Your first 5–10 seconds decide whether viewers stay or scroll. Use that moment to spark curiosity or make someone feel understood.

Try things like:

• A question: “Ever feel like your team is in three time zones… even when they’re not?”
• A quick visual: “Picture this: your whole team, totally aligned, without another 3-hour meeting.”
• A surprising stat: “Miscommunication costs businesses over $1.2 trillion each year. There’s a better way.”

Your hook invites people into the story you’re about to tell.

2. Keep your message tight and clear

On Pitch59, people love short, powerful messages they can watch, understand, and act on quickly. Aim for a 30–60 second pitch with three essentials:

• Who you help: “I help remote teams…”
• The problem you solve: “…stop drowning in miscommunication…”
• What makes you different: “…with simple workflows anyone can follow.”

The goal? Say more with fewer words. Cut the fluff. Keep what matters.

3. Let your real personality come through

Your PitchCard works best when you show up. Smile. Use your hands. Be conversational, not scripted.

A few reminders:

• Pretend you’re talking to someone you enjoy working with.
• Energy matters—enthusiasm makes your message memorable.
• Don’t worry about being perfect. People relate to real humans, not polished robots.

Authenticity builds trust, and trust leads to opportunities.

4. Set up a clean, clear visual environment

Your video doesn’t need to be fancy—just easy to watch. A few quick adjustments can upgrade your entire pitch:

• Lighting: Face a window or use soft, even lighting.
• Background: Keep it clean, neutral, or lightly branded.
• Sound: Reduce noise and, if possible, use a small mic for clarity.

Good visuals don’t overpower your message—they support it.

5. End with a simple, direct call-to-action

Once someone loves your pitch, make it easy for them to take the next step.

Examples:

• “Want a free workflow review? Tap the button below.”
• “Connect with me on LinkedIn to see how I help teams communicate better.”
• “Reach out—I’d love to schedule a quick consultation.”

A clear CTA turns a great first impression into a real conversation.

6. Practice, record, refine

Even the best natural communicators get better with repetition.

Try this:

• Record a few takes and choose the one that feels the most you.
• Watch your pacing and clarity.
• Ask a friend or co-worker for honest feedback.
• Make tiny adjustments over time—your pitch will get stronger each round.

Consistency beats perfection.
