Supplier Pitch Coaching

Helping suppliers earn the attention — and trust — of HR decision-makers

Selling into HR is different.

HR leaders are time-poor, risk-aware and sceptical of hype. They’re evaluating credibility, culture fit, implementation and impact — not just features.

Supplier Pitch Coaching helps you position your offer so it lands with HR decision-makers and leads to meaningful, commercial conversations.

What I will help you with

Depending on where you are in your pitch journey, support can include:

  • Shaping your opening outreach email so it gets opened — and taken seriously

  • Refining your pitch deck to reflect on how HR Directors actually think and decide

  • Clarifying your value proposition in HR language (not sales jargon)

  • Clarifying your competitive advantage so HR understands why you, not just what you do

  • Stress-testing your pitch against common HR objections

  • Coaching you on presentation delivery and confident Q&A handling

I help you see your offer through the eyes of an HR Director — drawing on senior, in-house HR experience and a deep understanding of what HR will (and won’t) buy.

Who this is for?

This service is ideal for suppliers selling into HR, including:

  • Wellness and wellbeing providers

  • Employee benefits and reward consultants

  • HR tech and systems providers

  • Engagement, culture, learning and training specialists

  • Specialist or retained recruiters selling advisory services into HR

  • Charities and consultancies pitching strategic programmes to HR teams

I’ve worked with suppliers across commercial and charitable sectors, helping them sharpen their message and pitch with confidence.

Who this isn’t for

Supplier Pitch Coaching is not the right fit if you are:

  • Looking for lead generation or sales outsourcing

  • Wanting a generic pitch deck template without tailoring

  • Expecting HR to buy purely on price, novelty or hype

  • Unwilling to adapt your message to reflect HR realities, constraints and risk

  • Seeking help with cold selling tactics rather than credibility-led positioning

  • Operating high-volume, transactional or price-led sales models

This service is designed for suppliers who are serious about long-term relationships with HR, not quick wins or volume selling. And differentiating your expertise in a crowded supplier market

If you value clarity, credibility and thoughtful positioning — you’ll get a lot from this work.
