Looking for good example of sales pitch
I'm trying to find a video clip of a great sales pitch for a Year 8 class and would be grateful if anyone can suggest one. I've used the Dragon's Den material from the TES, but would like to follow this up with something which demonstrates good persuasive techniques yet ideally is based on selling a product rather than arguing an idea. It's a very low ability group. Thanks. OMIH.

The Apprentice?
Re: Looking for good example of sales pitch
I always think that the advert for The Guardian from a few years ago, ("skinhead", it's available on You-Tube) is brilliant, although more for its idea that you need to look at different views than for selling The Guardian. I used it with a year 6 who had a range of problems, (including EBD, ADHD) who thought it was really good.

Thanks Jiff, it's good for what it is, but it's not quite what I'm looking for which is more a good sales pitch for a product....
Thanks pheasant chick.I've never watched The Apprentice, will take a quick look.
Anyone else??

Re: Looking for good example of sales pitch
Not all of the The Apprentice programmes have sales pitches. You need to look at the episodes where the teams design a product and then pitch it to an audience of leading people in that field.
Some series also have episodes where the teams pitch to certain people to win their products to sell.

Irrelevant, but does anyone know when the Apprentice is on? I thought it was "coming soon", ages ago ... and dh and I enjoy it.
There have been some brilliant examples of sales pitch but you're right, pheasantchick - you need to find the relevant episodes.

Re: Looking for good example of sales pitch
How about one of the shopping channels? They're generally short and sharp on a given product and fairly unsubtle about the selling points they're trying to get across.

Thanks, zeezeemum. Dh and I will be glued. We've been watching it for years! The candidates seem to get younger and younger (do I mean we're getting older and older?)
