Best Practices for Sending Pitch Decks

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

• Recipient claims they didn't receive the email: Check the tracking to confirm delivery. If delivered, suggest they check spam/junk folders.

• Files appear too large to upload: Compress your files or split very large presentations into separate sends.

• Need to send to multiple recipients: Create individual sends for each recipient to maintain accurate tracking.

• Need to update files after sending: Create a new send with updated files and notify the recipient about the updated version.

Your pitch deck contains valuable information. GoodSend provides:

• Encrypted file transfer
• Automatic file expiration after 7 days

Quick Tips

• Naming convention: Include your company name and "Pitch Deck" in filenames for easy identification
• Follow up: Use tracking data to time your follow-up emails appropriately
• Expiration reminder: Inform recipients that they have 7 days to download files
• Supplementary materials: Consider including an executive summary as a separate file for quick review
• Payment efficiency: Purchase credits in bulk if you anticipate sending multiple pitch decks
• Verification: Send a test file to yourself first to see exactly what your recipients will experience
• Mobile optimization: Ensure your pitch deck displays properly on mobile devices for on-the-go viewing
