Watch These Entrepreneur Brothers Deliver a Choreographed PitchThis week's episode of 'Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch' drives home the power of preparedness and practice.

On the new streaming showEntrepreneur Elevator Pitch, founders step into theEntrepreneur Elevatorand have just 60 seconds to present their idea, product or business to a panel of investors. Whether an entrepreneur gets invited into the boardroom or sent back to the ground floor depends on what our experts think in that first minute. Each week we'll dissect what any entrepreneur can learn from these contestants' winning -- or losing -- pitches.

Brothers Jordan and Ian Kay are the co-creators of theRally Flip Cap(RFC), a double-billed hat with a flip-up feature that reveals a hidden design. They know what it'll take to inspire the judges to open theEntrepreneur Elevatordoors: a well-rehearsed and energetic pitch.

Their golden ticket is their preparedness. By merely having practiced their elevator pitch, which incorporates synchronized gestures and product demos, the Kay brothers prompt the judges to welcome them into the boardroom without hesitation.

Once face-to-face, they have thorough answers to nearly all of the judges' questions at the ready, including extremely specific sales figures and plans about what they'll do with their requested funding. The questions eventually get ahead of them, but by then, the judges can tell that the guys aren't stumped because they're ill-prepared -- they just need some expert help getting to the next phase. At that point, it's their understanding of the judges' expertise and their willingness to collaborate that ultimately gets the panel on board -- and making a variety of offers.

Your pitch is your first impression, and by leading with a clear demonstration of the thought, time and energy you've put into your product, business or idea, you prove that you are serious and that you value the listener's time. Any aspiring entrepreneur should harness the power play of a prepared pitch.
