As proof, she once closed a 5.5 million dollar deal from a cold call!  She also knows how to make a great first impression; she once sent a three-foot-tall steel pyramid to Star Wars director George Lucas as part of a client pitch. That yielded approximately 60 million dollars in revenue for her client.

In 2002, Laura decided to harness the power of the pitch when she co-founded 15-SecondPitch.com, a website dedicated to helping individuals create a better pitch that they could deliver  in just 15 seconds. Now, as The Pitch Girl, she helps job seekers and entrepreneurs hone their skills.Laura has been featured in ADWEEK, TimeOut NewYork, The Wall Street Journal, NY Times.com and The Financial Times.
