Nice idea, and presentation skills are vital.
However pitches are about much more than theatre. It’s a little simplistic to proceed as if they are.
If the story being told lacks the strategy, creativity and selling dynamics accurately matched to the audience, then the greatest performance in the world won’t win it.
