Moments / Pitch
The ten minutes before a pitch
You're asking them to back you. One person in the room decides, and you can know how before you walk in.
What every pitch has in common.
The deck is built for the room. The decision is made by one or two people in it, and they rarely say which.
Same slides, same figures. What changes is the order and the framing, so the first five minutes land with the person who signs.
Agency pitch
Final round. Three agencies, an hour each, and one person in the room who decides.
Investor pitch
Second meeting with the partner who could lead your round. She decides in the first five minutes.
Board meeting
A new board chair. You open the people map on the way in, with twenty minutes to get your plan approved.
Listing appointment
He has already met with two agents. You're the third one up the walk.
Two ways to start.
Try it on one real call this week.
No team and no company form. Pick one call on your calendar that matters. Map the person, read three lines in the ten minutes before, and see whether it moves forward.
- Try a name right here first. No sign-in.
- Connect numbrU to Claude, ChatGPT or Duet.
- Before the call, type their name and the moment.
- Afterward, tell us in one line whether it moved forward.
Setup takes about a minute, and the page walks you through it. Your first sign-in starts a 7-day free trial.
Run a pilot with your team.
One moment, thirty days, measured against a comparison group working without numbrU. Founding pilots are no-cost.
- Pick the moment and one result you already track.
- Your team maps each person when the call is set.
- Day 30: the result against the comparison group.
Questions, answered.
How do you prepare for a pitch?
Know who decides and how. In the ten minutes before, check what that person weighs first, and open the deck there.
What should you open a pitch with?
It depends on the decider. Some want the ask and the result first, some want to hear what you'll protect, some want options. The people map tells you which.
Does numbrU change my deck?
No. Your work stays the same. The people map changes the order and the framing so it lands with the person who decides.
