The "Show Up and Throw Up" era is over.
If your sales pitch is just a list of features read from a slide deck, you are already losing. In 2025, buyers have already done 89% of their research before they talk to you. They don't need a brochure; they need a narrative.
A great sales pitch isn't a monologue. It is a bridge between the prospect's pain and your solution.
But finding the right words when the spotlight is on you is hard. To help you prepare, we have compiled 7 sales pitch examples for every scenario—from the 30-second elevator ride to the high-stakes boardroom presentation.

The Anatomy of a Perfect Pitch
Before you copy the scripts, understand the structure. A winning pitch follows the "PAS" Framework (developed by copywriting expert Dan Kennedy):
- Problem: Identify the pain.
- Agitation: Make it hurt (What is the cost of doing nothing?).
- Solution: Show how you fix it.
- Proof: Prove it works for others.

Pitch 1: The "Elevator" Pitch (30 Seconds)
Best for: Networking events or the first 30 seconds of a call.
"You know how sales teams spend hours updating their CRM instead of selling? It kills their morale and costs companies millions in lost productivity. We built a tool that automates that entire process using AI, so reps can focus 100% on closing. It’s like having a virtual assistant for every single salesperson."

Pitch 2: The "Problem-First" Pitch
Best for: Discovery calls where you need to build urgency.
"Most VP Sales I talk to tell me their biggest nightmare is 'Zombie Deals'—deals that sit in the pipeline for months and never close. The problem usually isn't the product; it's that the rep missed a key step in the discovery. Our platform listens to the call and flags those missed steps in real-time, effectively killing Zombie Deals before they happen."

Pitch 3: The "Social Proof" Pitch
Best for: Risk-averse buyers who need safety.
"We work with companies like [Client A] and [Client B]. When [Client A] came to us, they were struggling with [Problem]. Within 3 months of using our solution, they reduced their ramp time by 40%. We can't guarantee those exact results for everyone, but that is the typical trajectory for companies in your industry."

Pitch 4: The "FOMO" Pitch
Best for: Competitive markets where falling behind is a fear.
"The sales landscape is shifting. In 2025, your competitors aren't just relying on good reps; they are augmenting them with AI copilots. If your team is still searching through PDFs while your competitor has the answer displayed instantly on their screen, who do you think wins the deal?"

Pitch 5: The "Storytelling" Pitch
Best for: Demos and longer presentations.
"Let me tell you about Sarah. Sarah was a new rep at a SaaS company. She knew the product, but she froze whenever a prospect asked about pricing. She lost confidence. Then, her manager installed Nomi. The next time price came up, the script appeared. She closed the deal. Multiply Sarah by 50 reps, and that’s the impact we have on revenue."

Pitch 6: The "One-Word" Pitch
Best for: Branding and memory hooks.
Sometimes, less is more. If you had to describe your value in one word (or one concept), what would it be?
Example: "Google is 'Search'. Nomi is 'Execution'."

Pitch 7: The "Email" Pitch
Best for: Outbound prospecting (keep it short).
Subject: Question about your ramp time
"Hi [Name],
I saw you're hiring 10 new SDRs. Typically, scaling that fast breaks the onboarding process.
We help teams cut ramp time in half by giving new hires a real-time AI coach on every call.

Why memorized pitches fail
The problem with the scripts above? You have to memorize them.
In a live, high-pressure call, your brain goes blank. You forget the "Social Proof" example. You stumble on the "Elevator" pitch.
A static pitch is fragile. If the customer interrupts you, the script breaks.

How Nomi fits
Nomi turns these scripts into a Dynamic Pitch.
Instead of memorizing 7 variations, Nomi listens to the context:
- Context: Prospect mentions "Competitor X."
- Action: Nomi flashes the "Social Proof" Pitch showing how you beat that specific competitor.
- Context: Prospect asks "What do you do?"
- Action: Nomi displays the "Elevator" Pitch instantly.
You deliver the perfect pitch, every time, without the stress.
