Winning Women - The perfect pitch

What a fantastic night we all had last night!

We had 35 of Hampshire's finest business women in the same room and it was wonderful.

After giving a presentation on putting together the perfect pitch, we split into groups to work on our pitches and present back to the group. The ideas were coming thick and fast and there was a real buzz in the air.

Now this a networking group that really networks!

We all learnt a lot about each other businesses and a lot about how we present our own businesses.

There was such an atmosphere of support and enthusiasm I am sure a lot you will be hearing more about these winning women really soon.

If you'd like a copy of my top ten tips for a perfect pitch just get in touch rachel@morphpr.co.uk and I 'll send you one.

Here is what some of you said

" Very worthwhile - I believe I have come away with a very useful pitch that I will definately use again"

" Great presentation really natural and good fun. Really got me thinking about what I actually do!"

"Really enjoyable evening have learnt a lot on how to sell my business and to be more confident"

Dates for you Diary - Thursday 24th September

I'm pleased to announce that I'll be running a workshop at Hampshire's Winning Women networking group on Thursday 24th September and I'd love to see you there.

The Winning Women networking group meets on the fourth Thursday of every month at the Lysses House Hotel, High Street, Fareham from 7-9.30pm and everyone is welcome. It's a really warm friendly group with a great membership I have enjoyed every single session I've ever attended and always come away feeling happy and motivated.


You have probably heard of the 'Elevator pitch' where you explain your business in a very short time, usually one minute, to make an immediate impression.

In this workshop we'll be learning just how to put together the perfect pitch and with a supportive group around to practice on, by the end of the session you'll have your very own perfect pitch and be raring to go out there and spread the word about your business.

Come along and bring some business cards. At just £7 on the door its a brilliant opportunity for some networking.

Winning Women evenst are run by Allison Marlowe.com

Building Customer Loyalty through Customer Experience



I believe marketing is not just about leaflets, web-sites and branding but is about the whole customer experience and how you make your customers feel. 80% of your business comes from 20% of your customers so make sure yours keep coming back by using this customer experienece tool.

Simply think about each point of contact you should could have with your customers as illustrated above and then make sure that each point of contact is exceptional. I find that writing them down and then putting down examples of what I've found to be excellent from other companies works well as inspiration. Good luck this approach will pay dividends in customer loyalty.
