Your First Million: Failed Deals and Ripple Effect on Families
This is a 2-part blog series
Part 1: Your First Million: Failed Deals and Ripple Effect on Families <-- you are here
Part 2: Your Next Million
Let’s be clear: rejection isn’t just “part of the game.” It’s costly.
📉 A McKinsey study found that poor communication in investor meetings reduces funding potential by up to 45%.
📉 Harvard research shows that founders who fail to build credibility in their first meeting almost never get a second.
📉 Failed buyer negotiations cost companies $1.3M/year on average in lost deals and damaged reputations.
But beyond numbers—it’s emotional.
The rejection doesn’t just sting your ego.
It slowly chips away at your confidence.
And over time, you start believing the worst thing any entrepreneur can believe:
“Maybe I’m just not cut out for this.”
That’s the silent message behind every investor who ghosts you, every buyer who says “Let me think about it,” and every prospect who walks away without saying why.
It’s not always said out loud—but it’s felt. Deeply. And the truth? It hurts.
Because if you’ve ever walked into a pitch or negotiation thinking “This is it. This is going to change everything,” and walked out with a polite smile and nothing else—you already know that pain.
The deal didn’t close.
The investor said no.
The buyer raised an objection you couldn’t overcome.
The Real Problem Isn’t What You Think
When founders, entrepreneurs, and even seasoned professionals face rejection, they often blame surface-level issues:
“Maybe the price was too high.”
“Maybe the timing was off.”
“Maybe they just didn’t get it.”
But the real problem isn’t price, product, or timing.

It’s the pitch.
“Harvard data reveals that the first 7 minutes of a pitch shapes over 70% of the final decision, and Gong.io shows that the best presenters speak 43% less—zeroing in on pure clarity.”
A weak pitch leads to weak negotiation.
A messy presentation causes objections.
A lack of structure and credibility breeds rejection.
Here’s the truth:
🔥 You can’t negotiate powerfully if your pitch is weak.
🔥 You can’t overcome objections if your message isn’t clear.
🔥 You can’t attract investors if they don’t feel your credibility.

You’re Not “Unlucky”
“Harvard’s survey of 470 early-stage startups confirmed founder background doesn’t predict success—but things like structure, presentation timing, and confidence in metrics do. Meanwhile, McKinsey confirms that low-value communication drains performance, and the same applies in poorly structured pitches.”
You’re not closing deals—not because your product is bad.
Not because you don’t work hard.
Not because your idea isn’t good enough.
You’re not closing deals because the presentation system is broken. And worse—nobody taught you how to fix it.
The truth is, 90% of rejections have NOTHING to do with the offer. They happen because of 3 invisible killers:
Bad Pitch Structure – There’s no flow. The audience gets confused, then checks out.
Wrong Sequence – You pitch the price before the belief is built. Death sentence.
No Credibility – You didn’t answer the question they’re really asking: “Why should I trust you with my money/time?”
Edelman Trust Barometer shows 63% trust pre-established media, meaning features establish credibility fast.
Nielsen & PR Newswire found +38% purchase intent from trusted media mentions.
That's why you have to tilt it in your favour. The world isn’t fair to those who can’t present powerfully.
Investors ignore you.
Buyers don’t believe you.
Partners don’t back you.
You become “one of the many.” Unseen. Unheard. Unvalued.
And the worst part?
Their families suffer too.
Because when the deals don’t close, the cash doesn’t flow.
And when the cash doesn’t flow, dreams die quietly behind polite smiles and closed doors.
But this doesn’t have to be your story.
You don’t need another course filled with theory. You need a fix.
A simple, powerful system that rewires how you pitch, negotiate, and close.

Proven Results:
Michel was a gen2 brand owner who took his father's company. he was losing deals, losing negotiation to his suppliers, and not winning customers at all.
After attending the 1Pitch program, He started closing big contracts for an average of $50,000/year. Immediately after graduation he 100X his course fees within 60 days. This contract lasted for 6 years (2019-2025). That means, his total per ONE contract was $342,000. A cool 34,371% ROI on his course fee. (did I mention? this math was for ONE contract)
Using the same skills, technique and pitch that he learned to create in the program, he went on to close even more contracts every year since 2019.
Here are the company's estimates of new ARR unlocked since 2019:
at 10 contracts his new ARR = $3.4Million
at 50 contracts his new ARR = $170Million
Even with using discounted projection for diminishing factor of 5X, his ARR is still $34Million. Not bad, wouldn't you think?
why is the 1Pitch program so potent for "out-of-this-world" results? because the skills in the program didn't just help him pitch for new ARR's. It also taught him how to RETAIN and build a loyal brand of raving fans to do business with him!
