The differences between a great pitch and a terrible pitch are often small and not obvious. Join Susan Cornelius for a 30-minute webinar on how to be a better pitcher from 10:00-10:30, and sign up for a 30-minute slot to speak one-on-one with Susan about any specific questions or problems for your business.
