The Pitch 101 Methodology

The frameworks behind
every yes.

The Pitch 101 is not a coaching style. It is a communication, positioning, and leadership methodology — built on over a decade of real pitches, real rooms, and real outcomes. Every program, workshop, and coaching engagement runs on the same engine.

"Positioning is how you show up, stand out, and separate yourself in the minds of the people you want to support you."

Foundation Principle

"Your story becomes your distinction. Clarity fuels confidence. Don't ask. Align."

Core Philosophy

"Donors don't fund products — they fund vision, purpose, and outcomes. You must position before you pitch."

Pitch 101 Law

Built on 100 pitches.
Proven in every room.

Squeaky Moore didn't start with a curriculum. She started with a problem — she needed to pitch, and nobody was teaching people like her how. So she pitched 100 times in the film and television industry, studied every yes and every no, and extracted the patterns.

The result is a methodology that works across every context: entrepreneurs pitching investors, students pitching admissions committees, leaders pitching boards, athletes pitching sponsors, and teams pitching clients. The room changes. The framework holds.

What you see on this page is the architecture behind The Pitch 101 — the named frameworks that power every program, workshop, coaching session, and digital tool in the ecosystem.

100+
Personal pitches made across film, TV, and entrepreneurship before the methodology was built
12+
Distinct named frameworks in the suite — each designed for a specific communication challenge
500+
Clients coached across every industry, from age 7 to 60+ — entrepreneurs, students, athletes, executives
7
Distinct audience tracks the methodology serves — from first-gen students to corporate leadership teams

The tools inside
every transformation.

These frameworks are not templates. They are thinking tools — built to become muscle memory. Each one addresses a specific breakdown point in how people communicate, position, and pitch. Together they form a complete communication operating system.

01
Foundation — Know What You're Pitching
The frameworks every pitch starts with. Before story. Before slides. Before delivery.
Core Framework

The Pitch Flow Formula™

For anyone who opens strong but loses the room before the ask

The four-movement emotional arc that turns a pitch from a presentation into a conversation that converts. Hook → Empathy → Aha → Solution. Not the structure of your deck — the structure of how rooms feel.

Core Framework

The Verbal Pitch Template™

For entrepreneurs, professionals, and students who freeze when asked "so what do you do?"

A 9-step verbal pitch architecture that builds from purpose to proof to ask — in any setting, at any length, to any audience. The framework behind #100Pitches.

Core Framework

The Positioning Deep Dive™

For founders and leaders who are clear on what they do but can't explain why it matters — or why them

Four questions that give your pitch a spine. Most pitches fail before they start because positioning is missing. This framework fixes that — before the first word is spoken.

02
Story & Identity — The Pitch Inside the Pitch
Your story is your most powerful strategic asset. These frameworks teach you to use it on purpose.
Signature Framework

The STORY Sequence™

For founders and entrepreneurs who lead with product instead of purpose — and wonder why rooms don't connect

The five-part storytelling framework that turns your origin into your most powerful closing tool. Once you understand what this framework activates in a room, you will never open a pitch the same way again.

Proprietary
Leadership Framework

Narrative Authority™

For executives, emerging leaders, and women who have the credentials but haven't yet learned to command the room with their story

How to own your story as a leadership tool — not just in pitches, but in every professional context where your voice and vision need to be the ones that shape the room.

Speaking Framework

The Spotlight Story Arc™

For speakers, facilitators, and keynote presenters who want to be remembered — not just heard

The structure behind pitches, keynotes, and presentations that land and stay. Built on the principle that a story remembered is a brand remembered.

03
Structure & Clarity — Build It Right
The architecture frameworks. For decks, proposals, programs, and pitches that need to hold up under pressure.
Deck Framework

The Pitch Deck Framework™

For anyone building a pitch deck who doesn't know what goes where — or why

A 12-slide pitch deck architecture built for investors, donors, institutional partners, and sponsors. Every slide has a job. This framework teaches you what that job is.

Positioning Tool

Core Pitch Positioning Trio™

For anyone whose pitch is long, scattered, or trying to say everything at once

Your pitch in three bullets. Who You Help. What You Deliver. Why You're the One. The unique combination only you can say — built before any other pitch work begins.

Impact Framework

IDEA → IMPACT™

For entrepreneurs and program leaders who struggle to translate what they do into outcomes funders and partners actually care about

Four columns. Idea. People. Change. Proof. The framework that turns a concept into a measurable, fundable, pitchable program — in one session.

Messaging Framework

The Messaging Pyramid™

For brands and entrepreneurs whose message reads clearly to them — but confuses everyone else

Clarity from the top down. This framework organizes your core message, proof points, and audience language into a hierarchy that works across every channel and format.

Offer Framework

The Offer Clarity Map™

For coaches, consultants, and service providers who know what they do but can't price, package, or explain it clearly

What you sell, why it matters, who it's for, and what transformation it creates — mapped before you build a deck, write a proposal, or set a price.

Differentiation Tool

Spot It → Scale It™

For entrepreneurs and emerging leaders in crowded markets who struggle to articulate what makes them the only logical choice

The framework for finding and amplifying your distinction. Not what makes you different — what makes you irreplaceable. There's a difference, and this tool finds it.

04
Presence & Delivery — Own the Room
What happens after the frameworks are built. The delivery, presence, and performance layer.
Architecture Framework

The Pitch Architecture™

For anyone preparing for a timed pitch — investor meetings, demo days, grant presentations, competition pitches

The 5-minute pitch blueprint. Seven time-stamped sections, each with a specific job. Built on the Verbal Pitch Template and Pitch Flow Formula — this is where the frameworks become a performance.

Leadership Framework

The Executive Presence Triangle™

For corporate teams, emerging executives, and women leaders who want to command — not just communicate

Three forces that determine how a room receives you before you say a word. This framework is taught in corporate and executive coaching engagements — and changes how people show up permanently.

Voice Framework

The Statement of Purpose™

For anyone who stumbles when someone asks "so, what do you do?" — in any setting

A plug-and-play framework for your opening statement. Who you are. What you offer. Who it serves. What it creates. Delivered in one breath. Remembered forever.
