Basically, presentations that look professional are more likely to succeed. This includes filming your pitch with decent equipment, responding quickly to producer requests, and communicating appropriately with the show staff. Remember that the producers control the process, so getting on their good side is a plus. Professionalism includes any business website or pictures you take. The producers will look at these. Make sure they display your project well and show plenty of attention to detail. At the end of the day, Shark Tank is entertainment. Soft-spoken, agreeable entrepreneurs don't often make for an interesting show. The show's producers expect you to be outspoken, enthusiastic, and passionate. Be bold, be dramatic, but also be willing to hear what the sharks have to say. Think from a producer's perspective. Ask yourself if you would want to cast yourself or watch yourself on TV. Producers generally like entrepreneurs that offer drama, surprises, or tension. Whether you're applying or preparing for a show appearance, one of the best things you can do is watch past episodes. Take notes on some of your favorite entrepreneurs. Study how they deliver a pitch and present their projects. Then, use your notes to improve your own pitch. Also, study entrepreneurs who failed to get a deal. Try to figure out what went wrong during the pitch. Doing this is especially helpful for products that look interesting but don't get funded. Listen to the remarks from each shark. All of the judges respond differently to ideas and approaches. Figure out how to appeal to as many of them as possible. When you get on the show, you get to work with one of the show's producers. That helps, but get feedback from outside sources throughout the entire application process. Ask for honest feedback on what you have to offer. Make sure your pitch is simple, clear, and easy for any potential customer to understand. For example, start giving your pitch to family and friends. Then, work with business associates and other people within your network. If you can, test it on strangers to get honest feedback. When you get approved for the show, you get put through rehearsals. The producer will make sure you're ready for the show and give you some practical advice to succeed. Take into account all of your feedback to judge how good your pitch is. Consider how you feel about it and how you think the judges will respond. Edit your pitch as needed to improve it. Make sure the pitch feels exciting and energetic before you need to use it for the show. If you get accepted on the show, you will likely have a few months to practice. Give your pitch in front of the mirror as well as people you know. Practice until you get comfortable saying what you need to say. Edit your pitch selectively. If it doesn't sound right to you, chances are you can improve it. Some entrepreneurs don't succeed on the first try. That is true in business as well as Shark Tank. Go through the entire application process as needed until you get a yes from the producers. You may have better luck on the second try. You can apply again as long as you haven't filmed a show episode for your idea. If you think the producers rejected your application at any point during the casting process, consider applying again. If you were lucky enough to get to the filming stages, the producers may have chosen not to air your episode. Your best bet is to reapply with a new camera-ready idea. Remember that many people apply for the show. Even if you have a good pitch, the show's producers may not get back to you. Your second application may end up in the hands of a different producer.

Summary: Display professionalism while applying and working with producers. Show a bold, authentic personality for a better chance of success. Research past episodes to find out what good pitches are like. Seek advice about the quality of your project and pitch. Practice your pitch as much as possible to fine-tune it. Apply again if you don't make it onto the show.
