You have been introduced to a prospect at an event, do you deliver an elevator pitch and if so, how?
You succeeded in getting a meeting – now, how do you present the value you can bring to the client, to persuade them to engage you?
This workshop is distinct from (though related to) pitching skills, which you would employ when pitching for a specific piece of work (we have a workshop on that too)
Who Should Attend
