Michel: So, first of all, thank you for inviting us to pitch for this job.

Katia: Well, we are very selective about the partners we work with and everyone we spoke to recommended we talk to you.

Michel: Great! We know there are a lot of agencies in this sector, so we appreciate the opportunity to show you our credentials and give you an idea of how we work,

In this context, Likewise is a reply that means you feel or think the same as the other person or people. You could also say, “Me, too!” (referring just to yourself) or “Us, too!” (if you are speaking on behalf of at least one other person as well as you).

To pitch is to persuade someone to buy a product or a service. It can also be used as a noun: ‘a pitch’ refers to the strategy or the presentation used to pitch. 

Particular means ‘specific’.

When you make an exceptionally big effort to achieve something, you ‘put (or pour) your heart and soul into it’.

‘All’ (our projects) can be substituted with each and every one of’ (our projects) for emphasis. 

Credentials are qualifications or proof of your experience.

To break into a market’ means to become active in a new industry, in which you are not yet known.
