As you all know we are wrapping up the Bing Perfect Pitch Contest and we would like to hear from the community. We had so many great people pitch their ideas that we are having a tough time deciding ourselves. What pitch do you think is the winner?

Glad to see that you included ShirTeeApp in the contest!
Juice juice baby.
Smart pitch. Could easily be eaten up by one of the bigger boys soon.
Don’t get saucy with me Bernaise….
sounds great to me—proud of you—

kind of lame because now it becomes a popularity contest rather than who did the best pitch. Obviously friends are going to vote friends up and then its really not about who did the best job at all. I am seeing pitchers spamming twitter and all over to help them win. This is not how it should be done. I really hope this doesn’t determine the winner. Sad.
I think it sounds so good!!!
You go, Bro!!!
I love it!!!
It’s so good – way to take advice!!!
Good luck!!!
Fantastic!!!
Emma, that happens with every poll. There are plenty of polls out there that were contests like this and ended up successful. You just have to have faith in the #TWiST community that there will be enough voters so that the people twitter spamming don’t skew the results one way or another. And I don’t know about you but the #TWiST community is quite awesome so I’ve got faith
I think you did an awesome job. Great idea and as always you pitched it very well and had hit upon some key points. Good Luck
@Emma, we have something up our sleeve here. Stay tuned.
Haha, who got their mom to vote for their pitch?
Thank you everyone for taking the time to vote. What a fantastic opportunity Jason, Tyler, and the Twist crew have provided for us entrepreneurs. This is great. Thank you!
Erik,
Great site!
GREAT JOB!!! Keep it up!
Great idea you have found a good nitch.
like techcrunch50, jason and michael always choose the winning company based on the potential that it has to be a vital business, i think in this case jason a tyler will have the final vote.
this poll is important to show that the companies can also hustle and have a fan base that will support them and it will give the show more audience by having people outside the TWiST community vote.
i dont think that to tweet out that you have enter a contest and to go show your support for your company, means to be spamming, it sounds like we should be singing, chu chu here comes the bitchtrain.
before anyone tweeted anything, other than tyler’s tweet to help them with the poll, there were to companies with 33% of the votes each.. ShirTeeApp and Timeshare Juice.
the TWiST community is the best.
Relevant references rule!
I have several timeshares, the fact that maintenance fees of $500-$600 gives you a weeks usage, means that for the price of the medium hotel you can get a timeshare with a kitchen and a separate bedroom. But by the time you add the fees to trade through the trading companies, your expenses are getting quite pricey. I applaud your decision to give us a less expensive alternative I hope it catches on.
My vote is for Propadoo. Testimonials are a foundation of good marketing – they make it easy to collect and use them – that was a good pitch.
I stopped the video and did my rating before hearing others ratings and feedback from Jason and Guests and further discussions. There were things I liked about all of these – great job all, I’m sure you will all Crush-it.
Propadoo
pitch: 9
idea: 8
@Fantocracy Feedback: Explained need and solution in first 30 seconds. Great pitch and idea. Sounded slightly recited but not in an overly distracting way. The speaker sounded passionate about the idea. I hit play after rating and listened to the discussion and heard more about the idea. The only feedback I have is to incorporate some of the explanations from the discussion into the pitch and you’ll have a 10.
Brand-Yourself
pitch: 7
idea: 10
@Fantocracy Feedback: The pitch was too long, and recited off a script but did contain key points that helped me see the value of the idea. The good news here is that those things will get better with practice. I’m sure your pitch will soon be as great as the idea!
MaroonDoor
pitch: 9
idea: 8
@Fantocracy Feedback: Brief and clear. As most of these sounds recited from script. Not sure how this could work as a business just going by the pitch. Add that in and you have a 10. I think the brevity and quality of the pitch was intriguing enough that it would lead to those discussions.
InfluAds
pitch: 5
idea: 7
@Fantocracy Feedback: This was the hardest one to rate – I have no background or experience that gives me a good reference point. I would like to hear more about how this was new and unique and would be distributed.
Shirtee App
pitch: 10
idea: 8
@Fantocracy Feedback: This guy clearly knows how to Crush-It! Maybe this is a idea: 10 – but in my opinion it sounds like it doesn’t scale easily but I could be completely wrong. With this guys ability to Crush-It I’m sure it has the potential to become an 11!
BabbleFlix
pitch: 9
idea: 9
@Fantocracy Feedback: I got the concept right away and I’m the perfect customer. I do this now with my own DVD collection. I can see the immediate value in making that process more social and interactive. I also think that this business is perfect for people that seem to have disposable income.
thereNow
pitch: 9
idea: 8
@Fantocracy Feedback: As most others, sounded recited but I got the concept pretty clearly. If it can truly make teacher training more effective
TimeShare Juice
pitch: 8
idea: 9
@Fantocracy Feedback: The pitch was clear and energetic. I could see how, if/when time share buyers adopt this network, business will follow. Would like to hear more about the potential business derived from that business.
I hope my opinions and feedback are helpful!
Propadoo!
I thought the propasdoo was the best. Read the carrot principle. Recognizing employees maximizes productivity.
It is superb
Propadoo rocks – love their pitch and have used their product. It’s not just a pitch; they’re real folks who are passionate about building, improving, and offering a fantastic product that’s useful.
Kudos to Propadoo!
Remember us little guys when Google or some other giant, pays millions for your site!
Best pitch by far out there! Great idea! Testimonials are indeed hard to get into the hands of salespeople and are hard to get infront of prospects –this will make a task into a 21st century systematic approach that makes sense.
Good luck with Propadoo!
Way To Go! Great idea.
Propadoo is a homerun!
Great idea for these guys! Some great thinking went into this one! It will be successful. Successful
Way cool and JUICEY!!!!
great TIMING of your idea….
Michael, Props to you for the great summary of all the pitches…I think that will be very helpful to people!
Props… is a great concept. Congrats Gary and Eric!!
how many successful companies has Michael started to have the knowledge over jason and the guests and stop at the pitch and do his own reviews.
who is this guy anyways?
how many successful startups has michael created to bypass the experts, jason and the guest and do his own review?
who is this guy anyways.
Thanks Jim. It was fun.
Good luck to Propadoo! Sounds like a great idea. I’m sure you will do well.
Congrats to timeshare juice for the win!
