Sep 26 - The Art of the Pitch - Selling Your Ideas So People Say Yes

About ViCo Circle - The Art of the Pitch: Selling Your Ideas So People Say Yes

Every day, people pitch, a new way of working to your manager, a budget request to finance, a solution to a client, a change to your team. Most of us were never taught how, and then wonder why a good idea didn't get picked up. This workshop makes the craft salespeople learn useful for everyone: not scripts or tricks, but a practical way to structure your idea, connect it to what the other person cares about, and ask clearly for what you want.

What we do

• Bring a real pitch. Participants come with an idea they genuinely need someone to say yes to, and work on that idea for the full three hours.
• Map the person you need to convince. Work out what actually drives their decision, then rewrite your idea in their language and their priorities.
• Build the pitch. Apply a simple, repeatable structure — hook, problem, idea, proof, ask — to your own case, and sharpen it down to one clear message.
• Pitch it out loud. Short pitching rounds in pairs and small groups, with structured peer and facilitator feedback on both content and delivery.
• Handle the pushback. Live practice with real objections, hesitation, and tough questions — including how to tell a "no" from a "not yet".
• Re-pitch and commit. A final round with everything applied, and a concrete plan for who you'll pitch to and when.

Outcome

Participants leave with a clear, tested pitch for a real idea of their own, and a repeatable structure they can use the next time they need someone to say yes."
