“Throughout history, every great business, movement or cause began with a powerful pitch” - Daniel Priestly, Key Person of Influence

Two days ago, I got a message in our Skool community from a new member of the Pitch-over-Post Accelerator 14-Day Challenge.

He’d sent a few screenshots—and to be honest, I was a little nervous to open it.

When you promise a new client that “If you follow this process, you’ll land a partnership in 14 days… or I’ll keep working with you until you do,” seeing that first message can trigger a little anxiety.

But what I read not only reaffirmed that this method works—it reminded me why I do this work at all.

Here’s what happened:

  1. Three days ago, I ran a brand-new workshop called Your Six-Figure Partnership.

  2. I guided 9 attendees through exercises to uncover their Unfair Advantage, then invited them to join the 14-Day Pitch-over-Post Accelerator.

  3. The next day, I hopped on a call with Justin—one of the clients who joined the challenge—to refine his offer and craft his lead magnet.

  4. We researched his first three ideal partners, customized the exact pitch template… and he hit Send.

Three things showed up in my inbox the next morning:

  • Screenshot of Justin’s cold-pitch email

  • Screenshot of his target partner’s profile—35,000+ subscribers

  • Her reply: “Yes, I’m absolutely interested!”

See below 😜

Justin landed his very first partnership… on his first pitch. No warm intro, no pre-existing relationship—just the research, the strategy, and a proven template.
