The Sales Pitch Activity was conducted during MBA orientation programs to introduce students to the art of pitching, persuasion, and selling. The objective is not to teach product selling, but to help students understand that everyday life involves pitching effectively, convincing, influencing others.
Students were divided into small groups. Students in each group were assigned a simple, real-life situation involving two roles—a Pitcher and a Decision Maker / Buyer.
The activity created a fun, interactive learning environment and helped students overcome stage fear while developing essential pitching competencies.
