You don't hate pitching, you're afraid of rejection.
Hey Reader,
One of the biggest fears I hear from women who want to land corporate contracts is this: they're scared to pitch themselves. 🙄
I get it. Pitching can feel super vulnerable and high stakes. But friend, you're not actually scared of pitching, you're scared of rejection.
You're afraid of putting yourself out there and getting ghosted because you think it says something about your skillset or about your value.
It doesn't.
But if no one’s ever taught you how to craft a great pitch or what to say in your outreach strategy, it makes sense that pitching feels scary, awkward, and downright draining.
But you can change that.
With a clear strategy and the right approach, pitching becomes less about begging for a chance—and more about confidently offering value to the right people at the right time.
Inside the LEVERAGE Challenge (starting one week from today), I’ll walk you through exactly how to:
✅ Package your services into a consulting offer companies say yes to ✅ Position yourself as a trusted expert (without faking it or fluff) ✅ Build a simple, effective outreach strategy that gets results
Because it’s not just about pitching—it’s about pitching well. And doing it consistently.
Strategy Snapshot: 3 Ways to Improve Your Pitch Process
Do your research first.
Before you pitch, learn what the company or org is already investing in. Read their press releases, review job openings, or check their DEI or community initiatives. Align your offer with what they already care about.
Lead with value.
Your pitch should clearly state the outcome you help organizations achieve. Don’t lead with “I have 10 years of experience.” Lead with what result that experience can drive.
Make the next step obvious.
Don’t just end with "Let me know if you're interested." Instead, invite them to a 15-minute intro call or ask if you can send over a capability statement.
Small tweaks = big shifts in how your pitch is received. And inside LEVERAGE, I’ll help you build your full corporate outreach plan from scratch.
