Purpose of a B2B Pitch Deck
The primary purpose of a B2B pitch deck is not to sell the prospect.
Instead, the purpose is to establish enough trust so the prospect will open up to you.
Why?
Helping a prospect get what they want is near impossible if they don't share the truth about:
- Where they are today
- Where they want to go
- What obstacles are preventing them from getting what they want
- What the cost of inaction is (for not making a change)
And they'll only share those once they trust you can help them.
Questions to ponder:
- Is my B2B pitch deck trying to sell the prospect or build trust?
- Does my pitch deck do a good job of establishing trust?
