David Kean, bestselling author of ‘Pitching to Win’ and ‘How Not to Come Second’ built his reputation over many years as Campaign magazine’s “most valuable new business operator.” In simple terms, if you were in marketing and had a big pitch that you desperately wanted to win, then David was your man for the job.

6. To showcase our product/service
7. To get the client to like us
