Our pitch to you
Like all businesses, a law firm’s success relies on their ability to consistently make successful bids for new work, via a managed flow of well-crafted pitches that stand out from the competition. We understand the multiple stresses involved in creating a winning pitch document: gathering information from a variety of sources; making sure that all the information is up-to-date; drafting new key client content; tailoring content to suit client issues and requirements; and working to a tight deadline. This coupled with the frustrating formatting problems that waste precious time:
Layouts altering and images changing position
Inconsistent formatting
Contents page not updating correctly
Headers and footers misbehaving and section break nightmares
Our Solution
PitchPerfect provides a unique solution to these challenges faced by business development departments within Law Firms. Our innovative technology delivers high quality professional looking pitch documents in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods. Enable takes care of the layout and formatting of your templates, matching your brand guidelines, so that your team has more time to focus on valuable tasks, such as formulating winning pitch strategies.
PitchPerfect is comprised of five components:
By using Microsoft SharePoint as the CMS, PitchPerfect encourages firms to centralise their pitch content and streamline the way in which they store, manage and update their information. This then links seamlessly into Word or PowerPoint, steering clear of wizards and other applications that obstruct the flow while minimising document corruption, and the duplication of content and effort.
Key Features
It works within the familiar environments of Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.
The ribbon is dynamic and configurable. Dynamic means it changes based on the template being used; configurable means it can be customised to your firm and even on a per user or user group basis.
Information is brought in from SharePoint using search screens customised to the firm’s content.
As an optional extra: an easy to use self-service (for lawyers/attorneys) content management and approval workflow.
Documents can be managed with tasks and notifications.
