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.
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."
