FAQ

  • Who is the training designed for?

    The Elevator Pitch Training is designed for groups ranging from 5 to 50 participants. It's ideal for individuals in management, sales, innovation, and project management roles. The training doesn't require any prior knowledge about pitching and is most effective when participants have a real use case to work on.

  • How long does the training take?

    The duration of the training can be customized according to the customer's needs. It can range from half a day to a two-day program, or be divided into shorter modules. However, a full day is recommended to ensure each participant can leave the training with a compelling pitch for their topic.

  • What results can I expect from the training?

    Participants will learn the most efficient process to develop a pitch from the initial idea to the finalized storyline. They will understand how to use the pitch framework to develop their storyline, receive the best tools and tips for better deck design and delivery, and most importantly, leave the training with a great pitch for their own idea.

  • How is the training delivered?

    The training can be delivered online or on-site, depending on the customer's preferences. It's recommended to run the training in the same format as the presentations are usually held. So, if most presentations happen online, that would be the perfect place for the training.

  • How much should I book in advance?

    Due to high demand, it's best to request your training about two to three months in advance. However, short-term requests can also be accommodated. From experience, it's best to start the training about a month before the actual presentation.

  • Can the training be customized?

    Absolutely. We conduct a briefing call before every training to understand the unique challenges of your team and customize the training content accordingly. Whether you want to improve your sales, present projects to management, or enhance communication within your company, the Elevator Pitch Training can be tailored to help you achieve these goals.
