Deal shaping & pitch
One must-win deal. Storyline, business case, executive pitch. Rehearsed until it lands.
Strategic selling for AI companies
I help AI companies win the large enterprise deal. By the project.
AI companies win the team and the department. The enterprise deal is a different game.
Great demo. No business case. No executive sponsor.
Value statements woven in early. A number the CFO can defend. A sponsor who owns the outcome.
Signed.
Most engagements combine two or three. The deal work comes first.
One must-win deal. Storyline, business case, executive pitch. Rehearsed until it lands.
Preferably live, on real deals. Role-play as preparation where it helps.
Executive sessions that turn interest into sponsorship.
Quantify outcomes in the customer’s language.
Find where AI creates value, and how big the prize is.
Into the boardroom. With your team, in front of your customer.

I help build the storyline. I coach the team. I’m in the room when it’s told.
Every engagement pairs a base fee with a success component tied to the deal. I’m not paid to be present. I’m paid to move something.
One named deal. Storyline, business case, executive pitch.
Base fee + success fee at closeValue selling training plus live coaching on your pipeline.
Base fee + fee tied to deals progressedTwo days a month on a named set of enterprise deals.
Retainer + success feeThe success component is agreed in writing before we start. Never after the deal closes.

25 years of large enterprise deals. Accenture, then SAP in Asia and Europe, where I built two value advisory practices from zero. The last one grew to 60 people and 250+ deals a year.
Now I do that work by the project, for AI companies that have the technology and the demand but not yet the enterprise selling muscle.
