Pitching for a substantial piece of business, against competition, is an expensive process. It is a time-consuming process. It’s a ‘people-consuming’ process.

The crucial point in the process, is the Pitch-day presentation. This presentation will determine if you win – or not.

All the time, the money and the people resources you’ve invested can be lost:

• if the pitch-day presentation does not have a clear compelling message.
• if the presentation is not succinctly, and memorably delivered by a team of believable, credible, passionate presenters.

Yet many organisations devote limited effort to, and have mediocre skill, in the planning, staging and delivering the Pitch-day presentation.

Plan. Stage. Deliver.

Michael Kelly assists organisation to plan, stage and deliver a winning Pitch-day presentation.

In a nut-shell: Michael ‘Makes your Pitch the Winner, on Pitch-day’.

Michael has helped organisations win multi-million dollar pitches. He works with organisations in a support or support/presenter role.
