8. A coffee break could save the investor pitch.
We've all observed that pitching is frequently moving sideways at about halfway. If I notice it, I request an interruption and suggest that I take a coffee break when I've reached a stop point. The quick shift from professional pitches to coffee breaks can lead to informal conversations that are the way you establish rapport and eventually make the sale. John Brackett, Smash Balloon LLC
9. Engage at a deeper level
A humorous exchange can help you to breathe some life into an idea that's not running as planned. It will help break the tension with some laughs and engage investors on a more personal level. It can also be used to get yourself up and present a new approach to pitching. --Syed Balkhi, WPBeginner

10. Get to the facts to avoid the investor pitch
The most difficult sell is typically reserved for the last part of my presentation. If investors aren't impressed with my presentation, I'll go straight to the most important information or numbers I have reserved to the final part. This should hopefully bring investors back. Then I can focus on the doubts they have regarding investing and the best way to get over these fears. --Emily Stallings, Casely, Inc.
11. Invite questions from the audience.
The questioning should be removed from your pitch and focus on the audience. You can ask a question then concentrate on the answer. If your pitch isn't running as you planned It could be due to the fact that you're not connecting with investors. You can direct them towards the solution they desire and also the one they anticipated at the time of the meeting. The pitch is more likely to get to the right track. Matthew Capala of Alphametic.
12. Focus on the ways you can assist customers
You can change the tone of your presentation by shifting the attention away from the product's advantages to what it can help the customers. Investors are interested in all specifics regarding your service or product. But, they also need to know if the product is well-known enough to be purchased by many people. Discover the issues of your clients, and then describe the way your product can solve these issues. SeedProd LLC, John Turner

13. In your investor pitch meeting Be honest and forthright
Investors are more attracted to the founders of companies than in their own. If your pitch doesn't go well, inform investors. Get feedback from them and be open. Presenting investors to investors is an opportunity to prove that you're an experienced founder. Don't be arrogant! This is an opportunity to establish a connection and not just an opportunity to make a deal. --Matt Wilson, Under30Experiences
