Auto-pulled from Step 1🎯 How to Pitch a Business Case (8–10 Minutes)
Solving a real business problem for Yolé Thailand is completely different from pitching a startup to investors. Here is the exact 6-part consulting formula that wins Business Case Competitions.
⏱️ Recommended 9-Minute Stage Pacing (Leaves a Safe 60s Buffer Before 10:00!)
12-Slide Alignment💡 Tip for Round 1 (Deck Reading): Remember that judges read your slide deck silently without presenters first to pick the Top 5! Following this exact 6-step order makes your slides effortless to skim in 3 minutes.
Open with Your "1-Sentence Big Answer" Immediately
- Never save your conclusion like a mystery movie! Winning case teams state their complete answer in the first 60 seconds.
- Tell the judges right away: (1) Today’s core problem → (2) Your named 2–3 pillar strategy → (3) The exact measurable result & timeframe.
- Once judges know where you are heading, they relax and follow every supporting slide effortlessly.
Diagnose the "True Root Cause" Using Your Real Mall Evidence
- Don’t just repeat the case background — uncover why the bottleneck exists in customers’ real behavior.
- Your Team’s Secret Weapon: Show the primary data you collected in person at Siam Paragon (4F) and CentralWorld (7F)!
- Highlight concrete proof: your 10-minute storefront funnel (how many walked past vs. stopped vs. bought), whether the “0% Sugar Added” message was visible from 5 metres away, real shopper quotes, and rival prices/queues (Yo-Chi, Thank You Cup).
Pinpoint Your Target Customer & Why You Chose This Path
- Never say “our target is everyone.” Define the #1 primary customer group you will win first (e.g., health-conscious Gen-Z students & young professionals, Pilates/run-club communities, or young mall families) and when they crave a treat.
- Show strategic trade-offs: Briefly compare 2–3 strategic options and explain why your chosen path beats the alternatives (e.g., why heavy price discounts would erode Yolé’s 65% gross margin and premium brand, or why energizing 15 existing stores beats expensive new mall leases first).
Walk Through 2–3 Concrete, Actionable Solution Pillars
Avoid vague phrases like “do TikTok marketing” or “launch a promotion.” Make judges visualize the exact customer experience inside a Yolé store tomorrow — What · Where · How · Price:
Prove Budget Discipline, Profit Impact & Bear-Case Safety
- Even though you aren’t pitching VCs for funding, Yolé’s management team must ask: “Does this pay back our marketing & store budget?”
- Present 4 crystal-clear, realistic numbers:
- Total Investment & Monthly Running Cost (must stay strictly within any budget given in the case!)
- Incremental Revenue & Gross Profit (built from believable unit math — e.g., selling just +20–25 extra cups per store per day)
- Year-1 Net Profit & Payback Period (how many months to recover the upfront spend)
- Cautious Bear Case: Show that even if sales grow only half as much as planned, Yolé still makes a profit!
Show a "Pilot-First" Rollout Timeline & Pre-Empt Key Risks
- Test Small Before Scaling Big: Business judges love teams who pilot in 2 flagship stores first (Days 1–90 at Siam Paragon & CentralWorld), measure clear KPI gates (e.g., stop-rate lift & LINE sign-ups), and only then roll out to all 15 Thailand stores in Months 4–12.
- Answer Judge Objections Before They Ask: Name 2–3 real operational risks (e.g., “Won’t free sampling slow down the cashier queue?” or “Won’t GrabFood cups melt in Bangkok traffic?”) and state your practical fix right on Slide 11.
- Close Memorable & Confident: End by tying back to your 1-sentence vision and welcoming Judge Q&A with a smile!
