Here are some tips: -Establish expectations at the beginning of the pitch by asking the audience to wait for a specific time to ask questions. This reduces disruptions and demonstrates your appreciation for their opinions. -Use the interruption as a chance to demonstrate your flexibility if it brings up a valid point. -Handle interruptions with patience. Acknowledge the person speaking and let them know you’ll address their concern shortly, ensuring they feel heard without derailing the presentation. -Show confidence in your pitch. Even if interrupted, maintain your energy and enthusiasm to keep the audience interested.

When interruptions happen during a pitch, staying calm and composed helps keep everyone focused. Politely acknowledge the interruption, then bring the attention back to your main points by summarizing what you’ve shared so far. Use clear, simple language to keep your audience on track, and make your message engaging by emphasizing how it benefits them. If questions arise, address them briefly and promise to explore them in detail later. Staying confident and focused shows clients that you value their time and are committed to delivering your pitch effectively.

I learned this trick from a trial lawyer, and it works. Keep talking! Don't acknowledge the interruption. Stay calm, smile, TALK LOWER than the person doing the interrupting, and stay focused. It takes personal power, and it can be very effective.
