ANECDOTE

$30M Deal with One-Pager

  • Nate closed a $30 million deal using a simple, unbranded one-pager with black text on white paper.
  • The document felt internal to the customer rather than a vendor pitch, which helped win the deal.
ADVICE

Five-Part One-Pager Structure

  • Use a five-part structure: priority-driven headline, problem statement, recommended approach, target outcomes, and required investment.
  • Anchor the narrative in the executive’s own language to make the case feel like an internal initiative.
ADVICE

Use Executive Language

  • Use the executive’s own shorthand language and project names to title your business case headline.
  • This leverages existing momentum, making the case easier to buy into without persuasion.
