On the subject of your pitching, here is an idea. Get videos of people pitching they way you would like. Watch the pitches a few times to make sure that is what you want. watch them again, but this time see yourself doing the pitch. The next step is to see the the pitch as you are doing it through your own eyes like you are really doing it. Then go out and practice. If you need to make adjustments in the field, imagine a 3D image of your model and step into it and look through the world from your model's eyes and step out bringing the skills with you. There are variations to this technique, and using the Paraliminal :New Behavior Generator" or practicing the Borrowed Genius technique will help.
