Communication with the audience is certainly a must, and
effective methods of communicating start with thorough
preparation
An important condition in preparing for a successful pitch is to
give yourself enough time to prepare, making notes will help to
know the topic covered
Create visual aids with humor, for example, so the audience is
kept lively, this comes in handy when audience engagement is
considered and for a glowing review from them mainly because
they were entertained
Get help from an outside source, the feedback given will help
alter the content and delivery of the presentation
Plan for questions from the audience, being the one who is
making a pitch makes you captain
