The Entrepreneur's Guide to Pitching Clients and Getting Sales
Offered By: CreativeLive
Course Description
Overview
The distance that your small business has to cover to become a thriving enterprise can seem like an unbridgeable gulf at times. You need to land bigger clients to build name recognition and scale up your business model, but they appear to be out of reach.
Entrepreneur Peter Corbett has lived this struggle, and built his business iStrategyLabs into a multimillion dollar brand. Join us for this class, and Peter will teach you how to price, pitch and create a statement of work.
You’ll learn:
- How to prospect a client, prepare a tailored pitch, and land meetings.
- How to estimate the work that needs to be done, and close the deal.
- How to operate projects, and exit gracefully once they’re completed.
Peter has built his business from the ground up without VC funding. His client work includes projects for brands like GE, Disney, Volkswagen, and Coca-Cola. He mentors fledgling entrepreneurs who have strong ideas and straddle the tipping point between just maintaining and runaway success. You’ll walk away from this class with a step-by-step playbook on how to secure bigger clients, and a toolkit of techniques and ideas to arm you as you move onward and upward!
