Pitch deck, reordered for Laura
Slide 1: Our big idea.
Slide 1: What we'll protect. Your brand, your team's time, and launch dates that don't move.
What changed
- Risks before ideas
- Her concerns named
- Creative moves second
The ten minutes before.
In the lobby, you read three lines and decide what the deck opens on and who in the room you speak to first.
The deck is built for the room. One person in it signs.
Agencies that lose in the final round usually hear one word: chemistry. Most of chemistry is knowing what the decider needs to hear first.
- Trigger
- A pitch meeting on your calendar.
- Person
- The decision-maker, by name.
- Window
- When it's set, while the deck is still being built, and again in the ten minutes before.
- Action
- Choose the opening slide and what to cut.
- Signal
- You're named the agency of record, or invited back.
Know, avoid, instead.
A real people map from the engine, run on a sample name and lightly trimmed. You get it in Claude when the call is set, written for the person you're about to meet.
Laura Whitman
Guardian
Know
Laura needs to trust that your agency will protect what she cares about most, not just win the account.
Avoid
Treating the pitch as a transaction, or brushing past a concern she raises. If that happens, she will disengage and you won't get it back.
Instead
Ask, "What matters most to protect for your team and your brand in this decision?"
Listen fully before responding. Name the risks you heard before you name your solution.
How you'll know it worked.
Pick one of these three and watch it over your next few calls. Teams running a pilot measure the same three against a comparison group working without numbrU.

Questions, answered.
How do you prepare for a final-round agency pitch?
Know who decides and what they weigh first. In the ten minutes before, check how that person decides, and open the deck where they need it to open.
How do agencies win on chemistry?
Chemistry is mostly fit: the decider hears what they needed to hear, in the order they needed it. A people map tells you that before you walk in.
Who should I map, the CMO or the whole room?
Start with the person who decides. If others will weigh in, map them too, and open with what the decider needs to hear first.
Does it change our creative?
No. The work stays the same. The people map changes the order and the framing, so it lands with the person who signs.
