| A 10 Billion Dollar Proposal effort for
a Tier 1 Defense Contractor, “Orals went very well. We hit all the themes well and each presenter did a good
job…they (government evaluation team) actually applauded us at the end (I’ve never seen that). During one of the breaks one of the government evaluators was overheard saying, “This orals was fabulous!” |

| “We engaged TightRope Communications at the ‘suggestion’ of upper management who wanted to make sure that we put together a winner for this very critical
recompete. I am here to tell you that what they added to the presentation was extraordinary. We had zero ‘sell’, lack of consistency among the five presenters, no connectivity, and a very wooden conservative style of presentation. They completely overhauled the whole thing – working on slides with us, working hard with each presenter – in group settings as well as individually, and helping us tell the story that we meant to tell in the first place…These guys have a solid vision of what sells and how to bring out the best in individuals and groups.” |

| “It was clear the government was with us. A senior NGC person said he came to the kick off meeting and this one and it was obvious we were well coached. Your efforts paid off. The stories were classic and engaging…Your coaching really tied the briefing together…Thanks for another great job!” |

| “At orals the government requested a complete reorganization of the presentation and it was no problem since we had built the presentation in modules…huge value in that we rehearsed transitions and openings so we were able to re-flow the presentation without effort…the message was well received and well understood and the teams could not have done better…Thanks Ron, to you and all your team.” |

| “TightRope Communications is highly competent and able to work the complete oral presentation, taking advantage of each person’s unique capabilities to make a truly professional presentation…They helped us raise the level of presentation to a superior position over the competition…Using TightRope provided us with the edge that it took to win against the competition and I would recommend using their services in any competition that involves oral presentations or demonstrations.” |

| “Thanks for all you’ve done for my organization … we would not have been the winner both times if you had not been part of the TEAM!!!... It’s remarkable what can be achieved when product is the goal, not credit…We were ranked 1st Technically…thanks in no small measure to the superb job you did in molding my technical briefing teams into cohesive, dynamic, professional units that, according to sources from both evaluation organizations, ‘knocked their socks off.’” |

| TightRope Communications took us and molded us into a team. They literally ‘dragged’ our selling theme out of us…When all was said and done, we won a $150 million dollar contract. It was a contract we should have won because of a superior technical solution. But it’s a contract we did win because TightRope helped us convey our solution to the client…You can make no better choice to coach and inspire you to a quality win” |

any measure our orals presentation was a success. This success
was due in no small part to TightRope Communications…They
organized, directed, trained, lead, and yes, cajoled our team
to a successful conclusion…” |
