The Elegant Pitch: Create a Compelling Recommendation, Build Broad Support, and Get It Approved

Mike Figliuolo

We're sorry but your recommendation wasn't approved. We've all heard those words; it's a sentence that swallows your hopes and crushes your confidence. Getting ideas or projects approved and securing the resources needed to implement them is one of the greatest challenges business leaders face. With multiple stakeholders, constrained budgets, and competing agendas, it's difficult to cut through the clutter and garner the required support.
