This is it. Everything you learned in Phase 2 comes together. You will pitch a COMPLETE client package to a simulated business owner — under a 15-minute time limit. Scored on 6 criteria. Pass mark: 70/100. This is the closest thing to a real client meeting.
You have 15 minutes. You are meeting a real business owner (simulated by your trainer or peer). You must pitch a complete digital marketing package, handle at least 2 objections, and attempt to close the deal. This is not theory — this is performance.
Duration: 15 minutes maximum. Format: Live pitch to simulated client. Evaluators: Trainer + 2 peers. Pass mark: 70/100. Retake: Available after 24 hours of additional practice if score is below 70.
At 15 minutes, the evaluator cuts you off. You must have attempted a close by then. Time management IS part of the score. Practice with a timer. If you tend to ramble, script your key points and stick to them.
You CAN use AI during the exam to demonstrate live capabilities. Show the client how you would generate their content using AI. Pull up their Google listing live. This shows competence, not weakness. Smart use of tools is part of being a professional.
The simulated client WILL throw at least 2 objections. Could be price, trust, "nephew does it", or "social media doesn't work." You must handle each one using the LAAR framework. Not handling objections = automatic 0 on that scoring criterion.
You MUST present clear pricing with packages (at least 2 tiers). Vague pricing like "it depends" scores zero. Have your numbers ready: one-time setup fee, monthly management fee, what is included in each tier. Confidence in pricing = confidence in value.
You are meeting Manpreet Randhawa, owner of 'Randhawa Sweets & Catering' in Amritsar. Established 10 years ago. Known for wedding catering and traditional Punjabi sweets. Currently has NO online presence — no Google listing, no social media, no website. They rely 100% on word-of-mouth.
Pitch a complete digital marketing package covering: Google My Business setup, Facebook + Instagram setup, WhatsApp Business optimization, content strategy, review management. Present 2-3 pricing tiers. Handle at least 2 objections. Attempt to close with a specific next step and timeline.
Explain what GMB is, why they need it, how it will make them visible when people search "sweets Amritsar" or "wedding caterer Amritsar." Promise specific outcomes: appearing on Google Maps, photo gallery, review collection system.
Facebook + Instagram setup. Content pillars for a sweet shop: product showcase, behind-the-scenes (halwai making sweets), wedding catering photos, customer testimonials, festival specials. Show a sample week content plan.
Catalog of sweets with photos and prices. Quick replies for common questions. Broadcast templates for Diwali, weddings, festive seasons. Contact labels for different customer types. Status marketing plan.
Set up review generation system with QR codes and WhatsApp templates. Respond to all reviews. Build from 0 to 50+ reviews in 3 months. Explain how reviews directly impact search ranking and customer trust.
At least 2 tiers: Basic (one-time setup ₹5,000-8,000) and Monthly Management (₹5,000-8,000/month). Optional premium tier with ads. Explain ROI: if 5 new wedding orders come from online visibility = ₹2-5 lakh additional revenue.
Handle price objection with daily cost breakdown and ROI math. Handle nephew objection with professional vs amateur positioning. Close with specific next step: "Can we start the GMB setup tomorrow? I just need 30 minutes and your shop photos."
Follow this exact structure to nail your pitch within the time limit.
"Namaste Manpreet ji! Main [name] hoon, TARAhut AI Labs se. Aapke baare mein suna hai — 10 saal se Amritsar ki best mithai! Aaj main aapko dikhaunga ki kaise aap apne business ko online le jaake competitor se aage nikal sakte hain." Build connection first, pitch second.
Ask 3-4 key questions: "Aapke zyaadatar orders kahan se aate hain?" "Wedding season ke baad business kaisa rehta hai?" "Kya aapne kabhi dekha hai ki competitor online kitne visible hain?" "Google pe 'sweets Amritsar' search kiya hai?" Let THEM tell you the problem.
Walk through each service: GMB (show on phone), social media (show competitor's Instagram), WhatsApp Business (show features). For each: what it is, why they need it, what results to expect. Use specific numbers and competitor examples. Show, do not just tell.
Present 2-3 packages with clear pricing. When objections come (and they will): LAAR framework. Daily cost breakdown: "₹200/day se kam — ek plate mithai se bhi kam." Show ROI: "Ek wedding order = ₹50,000-1,00,000. Agar ek extra order aaya online se, yeh investment 10x return dega."
Use one of the 6 closing techniques. Calendar close: "Kal ya parson — kab 30 minute nikaal sakte hain GMB setup ke liye?" Summary close: "Toh ₹5,000 mein aapko Google listing, social media setup, WhatsApp Business — sab mil raha hai. Shall we start?" Leave with a clear next action.
