A pitch drives your audience to a specific action through a brief snapshot of a larger idea. This information is delivered in a compressed period, typically 1-3 minutes or 500-750 words. For a pitch to be successful, it is best to think of the ideas you want to present as an argument. You must understand how to build a compelling argument and then assemble pieces that bring your argument to life.

For this assignment, write a persuasive summary of secondary research and a proposal for a primary research project. This is an individual assignment; however, you will eventually pitch your proposal to your team. Team members will discuss all the proposals and choose which to explore further via a survey.

Identify two secondary sources that you believe are useful in understanding the topic as well as makes you curious to learn more about that topic. Your pitch will (1) convey what you learned as well as (2) propose a project that extends and deepens what you learned.

Lead with meaning. Successful pitches begin with a statement or idea that leaves a memorable first impression. Leading with meaning is about putting the most essential piece of information—the nugget and overall synthesis of the entire presentation—into a clear and recognizable statement. It is distilling the complicated web of ideas, facts, and figures into a simple sentence your audience recognizes as the main point. From there you can expand your ideas, adding more detail and helping bring your audience into shared understanding.

Identify the problem. Successful pitches need to identify a problem. Your pitch should identify a complex, nuanced issue that impacts workplace communication. Consider what the essential driver is in creating this problem.

Use evidence to tell your story. Once you’ve captured your audience’s interest and identified a problem, provide evidence that offers details and establishes your own credibility.

End with a call to action. Successful pitches build to a call to action. An effective call to action offers a clear direction to your audience of exactly what you want them to do. For the purposes of this assignment, you want your team members to accept your proposal and develop it into a primary research project/survey.

Cite your sources. The pitch should also include a proper citation for the two sources that you used.

Your pitch should be no longer than 750 words—these are intended to be concise, persuasive appeals

More depth/information is required for the context and importance, otherwise the study detail will be unclear. There is no search history information supplied.

There is a review of important theoretical literature, however there is limited integration of research into problem-related ideas. The review is just partly focused and arranged. There is research that both supports and opposes. A summary of the material given is provided. The conclusion may or may not include a biblical integration.

The content is somewhat ordered, but there is no discernible organization. The use of typeface, color, graphics, effects, and so on may sometimes distract from the presenting substance. It is possible that the length criteria will not be reached.
