So, the golden question – what do clients look for when you pitch to them? What defines success – and a win for you?
This is a difficult question to answer in just a few words. The reason is that clients alter their priorities across industries.
For example, in relatively immature industries, such as Web Design, a proven track record of success, plus a financially robust balance sheet, are both essential elements that clients will look for.
In mature industries, such as Logistics, it’s quite the opposite. Clients know that the top logistics companies are on the whole successful and financially robust. Instead, clients might be looking for freshness, energy and innovation in this mature industry.
But there are loads of other considerations too. Your job prior to the pitch is to find out which of these points are right up the top of the client’s assessment notes.
If you get them right, and focus your pitch in those areas, then you will have much more chance of success!
