She Won Thirteen National Elevator Pitch Competitions. Winning One Is Luck. Winning Thirteen Is a Method.

Precious Williams - Keynote Speaker

Precious Williams — 13-Time National Pitch Champion · Five-Time #1 Bestselling Author · Founder and CEO of the Perfect Pitch Group · Shark Tank Season 8

Pitch competitions are won by a mix of preparation, nerve and the mood of a panel. Which is why almost nobody wins more than one.

Precious Williams has won thirteen national titles. That is not a run of good days. It is evidence of a repeatable method, which is exactly what makes her useful to a sales organization rather than merely impressive on a stage.

She has since trained teams at Verizon, BMW, Blackstone, Dominion Energy, SiriusXM, HubSpot and Condé Nast, and taught at Harvard and Columbia.

Why This Is a Sales Booking, Not a Confidence Booking

Her energy gets described a lot, and it is real. It also slightly misleads. The energy is delivery. The product is a system for packaging, positioning and pitching, and her clients have collectively won millions in pitch competitions and secured corporate contracts using it.

That distinction matters when you are deciding which slot to put her in. Book her for a general session and you will get a room that leaves fired up. Book her for a sales kickoff, a breakout with your revenue team, or a fundraising audience, and you will get people who can describe what they sell more clearly on Monday than they could on Friday.

The team walked away energized, determined, and focused. — Tarik Ghee, Director of Lead Generation, Google

Her signature sessions are Rainmaking 101: Packaging, Positioning and Pitching, #Pitch Please: Getting Them to Say Yes, Pitching for Profit, and #RockstarConfidence. The first three are revenue sessions. The fourth is the one that fits a women’s conference or a leadership programme.

The Range Is Wider Than It Looks

She works Fortune 100 sales floors and she works universities, which is a combination very few speakers manage credibly. Harvard and Columbia have both had her in, and she is a regular on campus and student entrepreneurship programming.

She is also worth considering as an emcee or event host. That is a separate skill from keynoting, it is hard to fill well, and someone who has won thirteen timed pitch competitions is unusually good at holding a room to a clock.

With just a ten-minute slot, she left everyone wanting more. — Ali Schwartz, Senior Marketing Manager, Yelp

One practical note that comes up repeatedly in her reviews: she is easy to work with. Two separate clients describe her as low maintenance and communicative, which is not the adjective most high-energy speakers collect. She is based in Brooklyn.
