Ensuring all decision making through a pitch is fair and objective is important. Get organized around these things in advance of a pitch (in the preparation stages) it will save you lots of headaches and potential subjective arguments later on when it comes to selecting which agency is right for you.

We always want our clients to be making decisions together that they are all happy about.
