Approach & style

I chose the name The Pitch Doctor because it encapsulates precisely the way I work with you and how I feel about clients. The very lifeblood of my business.

A Doctor is a scientist. My work is based on what the best scientific research has to say about the psychology of business persuasion not fashion nor mere opinion. Winning pitches like science is learnable and repeatable. My clients win well over 50% of the pitches and tenders I greenlight.

Expect detached, mature analysis of your opportunity, clever pre-bid tools and a quick understanding your realities and competitive situation.

Doctors care. Well good ones do. Emotional intelligence is so important in our tough environment where pitches have career and life-changing impacts. I am able to work with your toughest cookies, biggest egos, most reluctant performers and stay focused on what counts. Your reputation. Your success. I always leave your players in better shape.

The best Doctors teach. I am an acclaimed teacher and bring almost instant innovation and new behaviors by coaching in the field, live on every pitch assignment. Creating or adding too a healthy and sustainable winning pitching and tendering culture is what I bring too.

Doctors routinely deal with emergencies. I live for adrenalin rush of your impossible pitch and tender deadlines. Working with your best and weaker players alike to forge a winning bid, a winning pitch team whatever challenges we face.

Medicine is a confidential business. Mine too in the deals I am privileged to be part of. Trust of course has to be earned. A glance at my client list will help you here, I trust.

I have earned the right to call myself a pitch and tender expert because I have probably made every mistake you can in this narrow field. But rarely twice. Failures and successes have taught me much. I am almost certain to have successfully faced any pitch or tender issue you can throw at me.

One final but vital point about my approach and style. If you can't win or your chances are too remote I'll share my opinion honestly with you so we can work together another day perhaps. Much happier then to get my fee from your success and not add another cost to failure.
