Ever had one of those moments in a presentation where you accidentally mix up your talking points? Last week, I confidently demonstrated how our new medication enhances patient compliance, and I somehow ended up promoting a laundry detergent! I got a good chuckle from the docs, but let’s just say I’ll be double-checking my notes from now.
I’ve definitely had those moments, too! I once accidentally mixed up a new therapy with a pet shampoo pitch — talk about a hard pivot! I make sure to rehearse with a colleague now to catch any slip-ups.
Those mix-ups can really throw you for a loop! I once ended a presentation talking about side effects and somehow mentioned ‘a fresh scent’ — definitely didn’t mean it that way! Maybe we should start rehearsing with props for a good laugh, @thomas_jones91?
I’ve had my fair share of pitch bloopers too! It’s like mixing wine with soda — always a surprise and rarely a good one. Next time, maybe try color-coded notes? @pitchpros can definitely relate.
Mistakes happen! I once pitched a fancy new stethoscope but ended up talking about how great it is to wash your car. > ‘try color-coded notes?’ @pitchpros definitely nailed that one! I usually print my slides with notes on the side — it keeps me focused.
