The Pitchwerks process helps in preparing the best presentations and gives new solutions for pitching. Their advice has helped us in customizing our pitches. We got useful tips and tricks for preparing presentations, including speaking practice and capturing audience interest.

Hoon Kim, Ed.M, Lead Instructor, Pittsburgh Prep

Pitchwerks has been an incredible help for our organization as we sought to develop a new division at Pittsburgh Prep. Although we were experts in educational pedagogy and college counseling, we quickly realized that we were lacking both the fundamental understanding and application of saleswork in this new venture. Pitchwerks came in and was able to rapidly deploy a step-by-step process that we were able to collectively undertake, which ultimately led to immediate improvements in our "pitch", with many of our inquiries becoming enrolled clients as a direct result. I cannot thank Pitchwerks enough for their absolute professionalism, dedication, and care to truly guide their clients to success.

Marshall Conover, CEO, Subless.com

The mix of optimistic vision with harsh reality left us rewriting our pitch excitedly after multiple meetings, which helped us not only craft a better pitch, but develop a better understanding of the environment we were selling in. This advice helped pivot a dead end startup to an idea with actual customers.

Brad Kriel, Founder of Velocity Robotics & SB Monitoring

They spent the time to dig into my business model with me, and understood my unique value proposition better than I did, helping me to articulate it, and to tell my story better than I ever had before.

That story turned into the pitch that won regionals in the Hardware Cup contest, got my company a seat in that year's cohort of Alphalab Gear, and overall created a step change in my company and my career. ​
