Exclusive event - Health To Wealth

3 ways to pitch your wellness business from this expert

Have you got an early stage wellness start-up or business idea? Need some advice to help you in the right direction? Read on to find out how, and join our exclusive networking event 

For someone growing a wellness business, Emlyn Brown, Vice-President Well-Being, Luxury and Premium Brands at Accor Hotels reveals three ways you can pitch your wellness business and win a big contract.

#1 Never stop knocking on doors

Rejection is a fundamental step to being successful particularly as you seek to grow your business, raise capital or expand network.

Get used to it and in every meeting, you will learn something new about the market, product potential and yourself.

#2 Work your pitch hard

You need to be prepared for every question, critique and query and accept it – getting defensive never sells.

Your pitch deck is vital, it needs to be absolutely on point and tailored to the person not just the company you’re speaking to. Present the best version of yourself as companies are buying not only the products but the people behind them.

You should also clearly show the need for the product; who is the consumer, what is your unique proposition, what you need to be successful and what the return is.

For start-ups, demonstrating your understanding of your financials, projections, cash flow and pricing are as critical as the idea.

#3 And finally, seek mentorship

It amazes me how many senior people are willing to help if they are asked to guide and advise. Seek out people or organisations where you can get support or mentorship for growing your business.
