FAQ

  • How does the pitch training differ from other presentation trainings?

    The Pitch Training goes beyond traditional presentation trainings. Instead of merely teaching you how to inform your audience, it equips you with the skills to persuade your audience to take the desired action. The training is designed to help you convey your message succinctly and effectively, covering all the elements that matter to your audience. Moreover, it's highly interactive, focusing on crafting your own pitch rather than just covering theory.

  • How long does The Pitch Training typically last?

    The duration of The Pitch Training is flexible and can be tailored to your needs. It can range from half a day to two full days, depending on the time you wish to spend on your pitch story and the number of participants. The most popular format is a one-day session, which can be conducted online or on-site, providing all participants with the opportunity to create a compelling pitch for their topic.

  • What kind of results can I expect from the training?

    The Pitch Training is designed to deliver tangible results. Every participant will leave the training with a pitch story for their own topic or project. You'll also learn the most efficient process to create future presentations, understand how to use The Pitch Framework to structure your presentation, and gain insights into creating compelling slides. The training will also boost your confidence for future presentations. Additionally, you'll receive a handout and tools that will simplify your future work.

  • How can I book The Pitch Training and what is the process?

    Booking The Pitch Training is straightforward. You can reach out via the form on this website, email, or phone. Ideally, provide us with the number of participants, the preferred format, and the date for the workshop or keynote. Based on your briefing, we'll set up an introductory call to better understand your needs and special requirements. Afterwards, you'll receive an individual offering with an outline of the training and the associated price to finalize the booking process.

  • Who is The Pitch Training for?

    The Pitch Training is designed for individuals who are passionate about their projects, products, services, or initiatives and want to effectively gain buy-in from others. If you value others' time and aim to deliver your message as succinctly as possible, this training is for you. It's perfect for those who are eager to lead new initiatives and make a difference in a world where attention is a scarce commodity. No prior experience with pitching is required, and we welcome participants from all industries and backgrounds.

  • Who is The Pitch Training not for?

    The Pitch Training may not be the right fit for those who prefer theory-heavy workshops with little hands-on practice. If you're not ready to work on your own presentation and share it with others for feedback, this might not be the best option for you. Similarly, if your presentations tend to be lengthy and slow to get to the point, or if you're not open to trying new methods and tools, this training might not meet your needs. We believe in active learning and quick, effective communication, and our methods reflect that.
