Robyn was extremely helpful and gave a very good explanation of your service initially then sent me all the details by email. She is a pleasure to deal with and very professional. I really appreciated her follow ups. I met my trainer today who also was very helpful, giving clear practical guidance and was open to discussing the areas I needed extra help in for interview. Very personable and professional.

Pitching for Business
1 on 1, Half Day, Two Half Days or Full day Sessions
Virtual Courses
If you’re pitching for business, if you’re selling products or services, we can increase your chances of success. We’ll help you win business.
We’ve done it for individuals and teams selling in increasingly competitive markets, for those seeking funding, for large corporations pitching for large contracts, and for procurement teams going for large government tenders.
Course Overview
The Communications Clinic’s presentation skills group course is based on learning-by-doing.
Every person on the course presents, has their pitch recorded, has it assessed and then implements changes based on feedback received.
Participants leave the session with a clear idea of where they need to further improve, and an action plan of how to do it.
We’ll devise a programme that works for you, your business, your budget and your objectives.
We’ll show you how to assess your audience, how to structure your sales pitch, how to deliver it with confidence and sincerity and how to deal with aggressive, probing and intensive questioning.
We can help from the very start of the process - from the initial research and client conversations, the identification of potential customers and their individual needs right through to the actual pitch on the day.
If you work with us, we guarantee that you will be ready and prepared to deliver the best possible version of your story to the client or customer. We’ll provide you with a competitive edge. You’ll leave with a skillset that is practical and applicable to every selling opportunity or pitch.
You’ll come to the initial session with two things ready. One, a clear idea of what you want to achieve through working with us. And two, a pitch or sales offering ready to deliver.
We’ll start by establishing the core learning objectives for your training.
Then we’ll look at the content and delivery of your sales pitch and give you honest and applicable feedback.
We take your sales teams through practical and experiential training that covers:
How to tap into the customer’s specific and unique needs
How to manage difficult and probing questions
How to maximise their chances of success.
This training will provide participants with practical, applicable tools that they can start to put into practice straight away.
Our training results in behavioural change - not just attitudinal change - and is experiential and participatory. Participants put forward their sales pitch and have it carefully assessed and honestly reviewed with solid feedback identifying where they might need to improve.

Who We Work With
Frequently asked questions
Is this course right for me?
If you want to be a better sales person and increase your success rate - then yes, it is.
If you want a fresh perspective on your pitch delivery and your offering - then yes, it is.
This training works for a group of experienced sales people who want to reach a new level of expertise or refresh their pitch.
It’s equally suited if you’re new to sales and find the process of selling and pitching somewhat daunting - we’ll design the course to match your level
What is the learning experience like?
Practical. Interesting. Effective. Fun.
We don’t just do extensive theory; we focus on real personal development. This is not about tricks or superficial tips. It’s about lasting improvements and effective behavioural change.
Can we tailor this to my team?
Yes. All of our courses are tailored to your specific needs.
We’ll work with you to establish your specific learning objectives, your corporate house style and the complexities that are unique to your own context.
I’m still not sure if this course is for me?
Why don’t you talk to one of our trainers?
Let us know what specific arena you need to excel in, and we can design a training programme to make it happen.
Can you run this training remotely?
Our training can be delivered in person or online – whichever suits you best.
We suggest that if most of your selling and pitching is done in person then you are better to train in this manner too to best replicate your working environment.
Equally if you sell mainly online then that’s the way to go.
Can you deliver training around the country?
Yes. We have trainers based right across Ireland. And all of our trainers are willing and happy to travel.
Can you deliver training internationally?
We can. And we regularly do. In the recent past, we’ve worked with clients in the US, in the UK, in South East Asia and across mainland Europe.
