sales pitch
Hawker's practiced monologue
A sales pitch is a persuasive presentation designed to convince someone to buy something or accept an idea.
The term extends beyond commerce to any attempt at persuasion: His explanation sounded like a sales pitch for the new policy.
A pitch can be formal and rehearsed or casual and spontaneous, but always implies an agenda behind the words.
