budgets, process changes?

To make the proposal
DESIRABLE, it must offer a
jump in value. It is a
comparison between today
(without my service) and the
future (when you have my
service).
I must cite figures, and I must
offer a Value jump, not just a
contribution.
Even if my product offers a
value jump, if I don't say so in
the pitch, it is of no use.
To make the proposal
IRREFUTABLE, I must cite
evidence. Evidence must come
from a source which the
customer or listener finds
credible, like official studies,
specialist journals, authorities,
pilot schemes, or the
experience of other customers.
I must build evidence into my
pitch before I am asked for it.
To make the porposal
REPRODUCIBLE, the pitch
must be very simple and easy to
remember. Another person must
be ableto reproduce it after
hearing it once.
Using technical terms which
hinder understanding may be
counter productive.
My listener should desire the
proposal and be able to sell it to
someone else.
To make my proposal
TRUSTWORTHY, the person
presenting it must generate this
trust through his performance.
Energy, body movements, mood
and gestures must be
appropriate to the customer and
the place. The seriousness of
the business must not cast a veil
over your closeness with people.
The will to deliver value must be
apparent in the person.

Possible prejudice Response to that
prejudice
Clients have experiences and
preconceived ideas, which
prevent them from listening.
The entire speech may
already have a negative
verdict long before we finish
speaking.
It is very important to
speculate what prejudices
they might have with the
offer (product or services)
with the company I represent,
or with you.
And we must prepare simple
and powerful responses to
reverse or lower the power of
prejudice.
We will use this later in the
script

Your client’s target Other feature
That client should meet
corporate and / or personal
goals. Goals that your boss or

will help him to fulfill. Goals
for which you will be
congratulated. What are
they?
Some characteristics of the
Client -Age, Education,
General Culture, Lifestyle,
among others-, could point
you towards using a special
tone and assertiveness in the
Pitch. Write down the ones
that seem relevant to you,
and propose how you will
take care of that in the Pitch.
