I Love It When A Plan Comes Together

Maybe it was the sunshine.
Maybe it was the moonlight.
( I could blame it on the boogie)
Or maybe it was the Haka I posted yesterday.
No matter.
The pitch I was part of yesterday morning was fantastic.
Everything came together in the best way and by late afternoon we’d already heard the good news.
So how did we get it so right, that the clients couldn't wait to tell us?
We had a great idea that was smart, simple and stunning.
We did our homework, so we could speak convincingly about the solution we developed.
We didn’t take ourselves too seriously, which is vital when you’re spending that much time with each other.
And on the day, we looked and felt like a real team.
The kind of people anyone would want to work with.
For all the books, seminars and training courses on how to pitch effectively, sometimes it’s as simple as those four elements.
So thanks to everyone who played a part and three cheers for the client with vision.
Have a great weekend.
