More Effectively Managing Remote and Multi-Office Pitch Teams

More Effectively Managing Remote and Multi-Office Pitch Teams

Managing any pitch team can be a challenge – made worse when teams are remote or based out of different offices.

Given pitches need to move at light speed, it remains a fact that a team sitting face-to-face in a room will collaborate more quickly and effectively. They will bond, align, and plan faster than a team connecting only through chat, email, and intermittent remote meetings (with many multitasking).

However, the reality is that more people are remote and often it’s necessary to pull in subject matter experts, specialists, and bench strength from other locations to increase your odds of winning. This session will address how to resolve the key challenges:

• When to proceed (and not) with remote team members
• When to proceed (and not) with a multi-office team
• How to better focus a team with more rigorous organization, communication, and management systems
• How to radically improve collaboration
• How to improve the commitment of each team member
• Why face time still matters and how to achieve it
• The role of Pitch War Rooms (whether virtual, in-person or both)
• Why rehearsals are mission critical but need to evolve
• How to position a team based in several locations as a strength (vs. a deficit)

You will leave this session with a set of action items you can immediately begin implementing to improve the effectiveness of your pitch teams.
