The document provides tips for preparing an effective pitch presentation. It recommends starting with the value proposition and telling a story that shows value. Presenters should ask a question that reveals value and explain why they are there beyond just their title. It also advises to memorize only the beginning and end of the presentation and to think about accessibility. Presenters are encouraged to find stories from sources like Dilbert comics and Wikipedia.

3. Start directly with the VALUE!
Tell a story
• That shows VALUE
Ask a question
• That uncovers VALUE
Tell them why you’re
there
• Not only your title
