Client Success
Stories
Speak to Grow events give you the same strategies and techniques Richard’s other clients have used to create remarkable results for their business.
Winning a £500,000 Investment (approx. $600,000) from investors who had already said “No”
Prior to attending a workshop with Richard, one entrepreneur had pitched his catering business to a range of angel investors, and everyone said, “No.” After working with Richard on his structure, storytelling, and style, he took the same data back to the same investors, and they immediately said “Yes,” agreeing to give him £100k per year for 5 years.
Jumping from 3rd place to 1st place to secure a contract worth $750 million
The bid team at AECOM was trying to secure a major contract. They were in 3rd place and about to make their final pitch, so they reached out to Richard and his team. They worked together for 3 days on story structure, style, and objection handling, and at the final pitch, they moved into 1st place, securing a deal worth $750 million.
“It absolutely paid off.
We won the contract!”
—John Lewis
UK Head of Commercial AECOM
