2. Customize your pitch deck to the client đ¨
Sweet! Now youâve done your research and know everything there is to know about your potential client! Itâs time to start breaking down everything you learned to create the most kickass social media pitch deck for them.
The more personalized and customized the pitch deck, the better your chances are at capturing the attention of your potential client.
So think of your customer every step of the way when creating this deck. Do they have a small budget? Youâre not going to suggest expensive ads. Focus on their specific pain points as a companyâdo they have no social media presence at all? Talk about how youâre going to build up their profile online giving very specific examples and showcasing how this will help them in the long run.
By making the pitch deck hyper-personalized, itâll show the brand, business, or client that youâre there to help them out in the best and most efficient way you can.
3. Introduce yourself (and your team!) đ
You finally have the clientâs attention, itâs time to introduce yourself (and your teamâif you have one!). Who are you? What work have you done in the past? Why are YOU the best person for the job?
Go into detail on people, brands, and clients youâve worked with in the past. How have you helped them grow? Give the stats and figures so you can do quick highlights on how youâre kicking butt in the social media game.
4. Define the problem and your solution đŹ
Perfect. The client knows who you are, why youâre good enough for the job, and what youâre going to do for them so now itâs time to show the client want theyâll gain from hiring you specifically!
Thereâs a reason theyâre looking for your services. Thereâs a specific problem they have, so how can you help them? Whatâs the issue they have? Define the unique problem they have and make sure your pitch is personalized to their specific needs and how your services will help them.
For example, say they donât have any Reels or TikToks and they are in need of video content that youâre an expert on. Tell them exactly how these videos will help them with their social media. How your Reels and TikToks will boost their accounts. How you will go about helping them with these videos.
Being able to give a detailed strategy on how you can help them can help take your social media pitch deck to the next level!
5. Explain how you work đ

The services you provide and deliver. Give your potential client an exact list of things you will provide to them. Communicate everything clearly so they know all of the ins and outs of what to expect.
