You will create a persuasive sales pitch designed to earn the opportunity to propose your process, product, or
service to a select group of investors. This sales pitch, called the shark tank pitch, is an oral presentation
created to convince the investors that your business and/or product should receive a $1 million investment.
You should have a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Sources are relevant (at least 4 sources are
required). Your business and/or product should be something inventive and creative – do not copy an existing
business. This speech will use a rhetorical model, Monroe’s Motivated Sequence (See guidelines in speech
folder), to:
• Create a unique product idea (good, service, non-profit, etc.)
• Briefly explain your product, service, or process
• Persuade the investors that this product, service, or process is needed and beneficial to consumers/clientele
• Discuss how you will bring this product to market or industry
• Help investors imagine the impact your product, service, or process will have on users and investors
• Call on the investors to act on your proposal
