COUP is just perfect for you if:
You’re selling products or services with the help of presentations (or videos)
You’re pitching (in-person or remotely) to win projects or to convince talent
You’re giving keynotes as a domain expert on behalf of your company
You’re teaching clients and students as an instructor, coach, consultant, etc.
Prospects that don’t understand your value proposition
Low win rates after sales pitches
Low volume of generated leads after keynotes
The attention span of your listeners is shorter than ever. And your audience doesn’t care about your achievements.
To disrupt your industry, you need to adjust how you present based on modern-day neuroscience.
In the TikTok and Instagram era, you'll lose if you pitch and present as taught by old-school tactics and sales coaches.

Sales is the most important skill for every business. And “sales” means: presenting to potential customers, pitching, and giving keynotes. COUP equips entrepreneurs, leaders, salespeople, and experts to turn into outstanding sellers by gaining unique presentation skills.
You'll lose if you don't master the art of presenting and pitching. Your products, services, ideas, and your knowledge will never land. Presentations are keys to your success.
As a master in presenting, you’ll convince many more people of the merit of your ideas and achieve much more.
You and your products will always be remembered for being outstanding – and you'll sell them much better.
You will not only wow your listeners, but be much more confident – and have a lot of fun every time you present.
One presentation or pitch can change the trajectory of your business, career, and life. Presentations and pitches heavily influence your financial outcomes. Just one great presentation can bring you tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or sometimes even millions of dollars.

Amazing masterclass format with actionable insights. Strong recommendation.
Direct-To-Consumer Lead DACH, META
I joined the COUP Movement together with 170 SAP colleagues from all over the world and it was truly fantastic. Not only were there very practical and actionable insights, but at the same time it was super fun to attend. The feedback I received from my colleagues was just overwhelming. I can only recommend this program to everyone!

Best online course ever. Over the last years, I’ve invested a lot in my self development, but if I’d need to choose only one skill to learn and only one course to take in my entire career, the answers would be easy: Public speaking and presentation skills and the COUP course. And if I’d need to choose the personal development course I had the most fun with in my life, I’d go for… COUP. Easy one!

I’m an Engineer, giving a lot of tech talks. But as good as I was in my technical domain, I felt less confident when speaking in front of people. As an engineer, I always thought that I was not made to deliver engaging talks – until I joined the COUP Movement. The COUP course delivers an easy-to-learn framework that helped even me to enjoy presenting. COUP was a true turning point in my career.

I’ve just completed the COUP Online Masterclass and am thrilled. I've had the course on my radar for some time, and in hindsight, I'm a little annoyed that I didn't take it before. I could have put the knowledge to great use, especially in the past 12 months, but moving forward, there will be many more opportunities. I enjoyed the course a lot, and it's almost sad I'm through now.
