Pitch consulting

Find the best — reduce the budget!

Anyo­ne who wants to effec­tively compa­re ser­vices and pri­ces must be fami­li­ar with the respec­ti­ve indus­try. It is only pos­si­ble to assess whe­ther an offer real­ly reflects the sta­te of what is curr­ent­ly fea­si­ble and whe­ther the con­di­ti­ons are good if you are fami­li­ar with the sub­ject and the mar­ket. Wit­hout this know­ledge, risks and cos­ts will increase

Micha­el Nicht is a lea­ding aut­ho­ri­ty on the­se issues. Year after year, his indus­try know­ledge helps DAX com­pa­nies achie­ve mas­si­ve savings, as well as bet­ter qua­li­ty trade fairs and events. This appli­es both to coope­ra­ti­on with plan­ning part­ners (com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on agen­ci­es and archi­tects, tech­ni­cal plan­ners for struc­tu­ral design, rig­ging, light­ing, audio and video tech­no­lo­gy) and with sup­pli­ers for all types of event or trade fair equip­ment. Micha­el Nicht plans a sui­ta­ble pro­cu­re­ment stra­tegy, crea­tes com­pa­ra­bi­li­ty through pro­fes­sio­nal spe­ci­fi­ca­ti­ons, deve­lo­ps per­for­mance-rela­ted fee models and eva­lua­tes the resul­ting offers professional.

In this way, he finds the most sui­ta­ble ser­vice pro­vi­ders and sup­pli­ers who will plan or imple­ment your trade fair, exhi­bi­ti­on or event optimally.
