Who's coming to our Christmas Party?
Here’s the thing about our course. It works. Our students are forever telling us it’s boosted their confidence and made an enormo difference to their pitching success rate. It’s even fairly standard for people to earn back their course fee in a juicy commission as a direct result of our input, long before we part company.
What we love most about teaching Cracking Pitches is connecting with our students. Hanging out with them – and enjoying very silly banter – in our secret Facebook group. Spending the final two weeks – in which they get priority in our inboxes and unlimited feedback on their pitches – really getting to know them. And on that getting-to-know-you score, my fave bit of student feedback from this year went like this…
NO FEAR OF FORGETTING YOU GUYS… EMBARRASSINGLY, MY BOYFRIEND ASKED AFTER THE PAIR OF YOU YESTERDAY, AS THOUGH WE WERE ALL AT UNI TOGETHER. HADN’T REALISED I HAD BEEN TALKING ABOUT YOU BOTH AND THE COURSE *QUITE* SO MUCH.
Where was I? Oh yes, why we’ve kept our course small and intimate. Because we think the one-to-one exchange is what makes our course especially kickass. That part alone is probably worth way more than we charge for it. But we’re kind of ok with that, because you can’t put a price on the satisfaction we get when a student gets in touch to tell us they’ve landed a freelance commission of their dreams thanks to us. Here’s how one of our current mentoring students put it just yesterday:
“Working with you this week has given me an invaluable boost – and I actually slept past 3.20am today for the first time in weeks. That's thanks to your boundless positive reassurance.”
Another student from our most recent summer course expressed a similar sentiment like this: “One of the most invaluable things I’ve got out of this course is becoming part of a little community. Freelancing can be so lonely and I’d forgotten how much I need camaraderie and contact with other people in the same line of work.”
All of which is to say that our next Cracking Pitches course kicks off on Friday 4th October, which is less than three weeks away. It’s our last course of the year, and we’re not too sure where we’ll take things after that. There’s talk of a Christmas meet-up for Muse Flash alumni, and we reckon 2020 just might be the year we make the Muse Flash Cracking Pitches residential an actual thing. Campfires, whiskey and fabulous food will feature prominently. That’s one boat you don’t want to miss.
But if your name’s not down (or you haven’t done a course with us…) then you’re not coming in. Bookings are open now for October’s course, and we’re capping this one at 12 students, so be quick if you want to bag a seat at the table. A deposit of £100 secures your place.
