Enterprise Supplier Development is a big tool of creating access to markets for SMMES.
The Elevator Pitch documents and broadcasts the processes organizations go through when selecting their ESD suppliers.
A short list of prospective ESD suppliers is drawn against a set criteria and on a chosen day the short listed SMMEs come through and pitch for a specific service as required by that organization.
Unlike the #StopPovertyInSA Pitch this one is done in front of the procuring brand with just one judge from VC Dugout to guide the proceedings.
After listening to all the pitch(s), the brand is required to choose the successful SMMEs live on the day.
