Pitching stories has got to be as much fun as the Bernie Madoff perp walk... I wish I could be the kind of pitch man that makes people forget they're being cast as the shills on the other end of the infomercial...
I suck at knowing what a report is going to look like before I write it. My clients usually morph the project scope beyond all recognition after I'm half done and then they wonder why my work is not "succint" and why it doesn't "flow" better.
Sometimes you have to be the spoiler and give away all the best parts in the movie trailer. Such artificial deja vu makes the audience feel smart for no apparent reason...
I have no advice other than "fake it 'til you make it." and as you well know "leave them wanting more." Make them ask the obvious questions so they get hooked on something that exists only as the hologram of a skeleton.
