Challenge

Pitching Larger Scopes Without Relevent Case Studies

As a boutique studio without the backing of major brands, we faced the challenge of convincing the client to sign on for a scope of work two to three times larger than originally planned. Furthermore, we had no local case studies or relevant experience to support our pitch for a new offering.

Solution

Solution

Go Above and Beyond for Greater Rewards


To achieve greater rewards, we went above and beyond the initial scope. During the preliminary discussions, I asked targeted questions to uncover the client’s ambitions for future business growth. By linking these ambitions to the current limitations and necessary adjustments of their brand through a deep-dive situation analysis. This helped the client understand their brand's potential and future direction.

  • Focused on how the client’s business could grow, rather than solely on closing the deal for our own benefit.

  • Provided a comprehensive situation analysis during the pitch stage.

  • Engaged the client with insightful questions to uncover deeper business aspirations.
