Summary:

Only one in four new business pitches wins.

What factors will make your new business presentations beat the average? This course uses the presenter’s experience of working with both agencies and clients to pinpoint the elements which will make your pitch stand out, create an emotional impact and achieve memorability (most don’t). This course will be run online as a virtual classroom.

Event Overview

*The course fee advertised includes a 35% discount in order to continue to support businesses during this period of disruption. 

The course is designed for pitch leaders. How will you decide who to involve? Should junior people play a prominent role? Should you develop an agency ‘playbook’? How will you use visual aids and props?

You can win or lose the pitch at all five stages of the sales process. This course offers A to Z recommendations on setting a pitching strategy, winning a competitive advantage at all five stages, and landing the business.

Attendees learn how to sharpen up their pitching skills; how to align their proposals with the client's real objectives; how to make their pitches gripping and memorable; and how to manage various kinds of client behaviour during the presentation. The outcome: attendees will increase their win-rate.
