Pitch, derived from the US sport of baseball.

The pitcher throws the ball at the batter, and see if he likes it enough to take a swing.

I might pitch a software solution to the customer, and see if they like what I say and how I can deliver it.
(I did this last week at work)

Tailor - To adjust the pitch or presentation to their specific needs and desires.
If I was tailoring a presentation for an aircraft company like Boeing, I would not use terms from watercraft.

Or job hunting.
I would not send the exact same resume and cover letter to all potential employers. I would tailor that cover letter for each one, including terms specific to their company.

Vertical - Their particular environment, from bottom to top.
For instance, Instagram....I would not talk to them about building cars, when their vertical environment is servers, database, users.

I don't understand the last example. She nailed the landing.

 

[USAFRet]

I don't understand the last example. She nailed the landing.

In the dismount from the balance beam, she "nailed" the landing.

Stopped in exactly one spot, without moving or falling over.

Just like you would do with a nail in a piece of wood.

I nailed these two boards together, in exactly this place.

Thanks.

Basically:

To "nail it" is to get it exactly right.
