The 5 Step Process
– Over decades of pitching across multiple industries from advertising to finance, from pharmaceutical to government, from the technology sector to celebrities and entertainment bosses, Michael has discovered there are five aspects to pitching.
– These five aspects are always present when a pitch is effective.
– These are:
1. THE AUDIENCE

2. THE IRRESISTIBLE OFFER
How to design an offer that solves your audience’s problem.
This will take you away from throwing everything at the wall and hoping something sticks.
To making it so that your solution is the only choice and the right choice for your audience!
3. THE BRIDGE
Use the lost art of Synectics to create a memorable analogy that sticks in your clients mind and stands out from your competition.
This module is about connecting your Audience with your Offer using the same creativity process used by Madison Avenue Ad Agencies.
4. THE OCCASION
Are you pitching to an individual or group, who are the other competitors, is it suit and tie or shorts, what time is the pitch, what does the room look like, what questions should you ask the client.
Step 4 is all about preparing for the pitch everything you should know before you take one step into that room.
