Account Plan

By Mohit Agarwal (PM Skills)

Build a strategic plan to grow and protect your most important customer accounts.

Investor Pitch Deck

By Mohit Agarwal (PM Skills)

Build a fundraising deck with the right story arc, slide structure, and investor-grade logic.

Account Plan

• Creates a relationship map showing who you know, who influences decisions, and where you have gaps
• Identifies expansion opportunities with estimated value and next steps
• Flags renewal risks and assigns mitigation actions to specific owners
• Builds a 90-day action plan with concrete tasks and deadlines
• Sets measurable success criteria for the planning period

Investor Pitch Deck

• Generates a complete slide-by-slide structure tailored to your fundraising stage and ask
• Explains what each slide must prove to an investor and how to avoid common mistakes
• Focuses on investor-grade logic — retention over signups, unit economics over projections
• Provides narrative principles that prioritize evidence and traction in the first five slides
• Includes quality checks to ensure your deck answers real investor questions
