    Hi all, I wanted some advice, I have a client pitch presentation which I was currently recording and it’s not supposed to be longer than 3 mins. If I exceed the time limit by 10-15 secs is this going to lead to a rejection or look bad?

    congratulations both :)! On that note, don’t you think that a three mins presentation is too short given the amount of material they have given or am I reading the instructions wrong?
