Believing in the product is always the best answer for sure

Belief in your product: If you are passionate about the product - this will show through irrespective of delivery. This will create confidence in you and therefore ultimately in the customer.

- Demonstrate knowledge of competitors: Find flaws in competitors and highlight these and suggest how this is overcome.

- Follow-up/Support Plan: Support plan. Although this is the last part of a project, this is important for clients to have confidence in you and the product by hearing that you have a "backup plan" or follow-up plan for them so someone is still be around once the implementation has taken place.
