Pitch anything better: Use AI to win clients with powerful business decks
There’s a moment in nearly every client conversation where someone says, “Can you send over something to explain what you do?”
That “something” is your pitch. And how you deliver it—visually, verbally, and emotionally—can determine whether a client says “Let’s go” or ghosts you.
A great pitch doesn’t just inform. It connects. It reassures. It persuades.
So how do you create one that actually works?
With AI, you can build smarter, faster—and with the right approach, differently. This guide shows you how to use AI to craft a pitch narrative and how to break out of the boring PowerPoint trap.
First, use AI to get the structure right
Most people don’t struggle with their offering—they struggle with how to explain it.
That’s where AI excels. When you give it a clear, strategic prompt, it gives you the bones of a persuasive business pitch tailored to your service, product, or idea.
Here’s a prompt you can copy, customize, and run:
The AI prompt (copy & paste)
Act as an expert pitch deck designer and startup consultant. You have extensive experience creating compelling, persuasive, and visually impactful pitch decks that help startups secure funding and partnerships. Your role is to help design a pitch deck for [TYPE OF BUSINESS OR PROJECT], targeting [TARGET AUDIENCE, e.g., investors, potential partners, customers].
The business or project is: [BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS/PROJECT]. It is at the [STAGE OF BUSINESS, e.g., idea stage, MVP, growth stage], and its unique value proposition is: [VALUE PROPOSITION].
Create a detailed pitch deck outline including the following slides:
Title Slide
Problem Statement
Solution Overview

Competitive Analysis
Go-to-Market Strategy
Traction or Milestones
Financial Projections
Team Introduction
Funding Ask
Closing & Call to Action
For each slide, provide:
• The objective of the slide
• Suggested content to include
• Key messages or visuals to use
• Tips for making it compelling
Ensure the tone is aligned with [TONE STYLE, e.g., professional, innovative, investor-savvy] and the visuals are designed for [PRESENTATION MEDIUM, e.g., in-person pitch, Zoom pitch, email attachment].
If anything is unclear or you need additional details to improve your response, please ask me for clarification.
Then, rethink what a “deck” can be
Sometimes the best way to stand out is to ditch the slides altogether.
Here are a few innovative, nontraditional formats that make pitches memorable, creative, and highly effective—especially when paired with the clarity AI helps you generate.
Non-digital, tangible pitch formats (with detailed AI prompts)
When everyone else is sending another PDF or deck link, showing up with something physical creates instant differentiation. These formats work especially well for creative businesses, agencies, consultants, and product-based entrepreneurs.
Here are powerful non-digital pitch concepts—each with an AI prompt to help you design them.
