    It was "Change" for his 2008 campaign. It was "Forward" for 2012.

    These are great. My friend went from Wall St success to superstar in group insurance. Without a formula, his natural pitches are information wrapped in story. He paints pictures with words and questions that engage them... and forms a team of pitcher and catchers. Everybody feels they are part of the his "team"... and sign up! (He DOES have the best product and service). Todays so-called Elevator Pitch contests often mislead students to think assaulting a prospect in the elevator with a breathless infomercial is "the way". As I'm pitching international companies on a ground breaking invention... and looking for them to sign onto this... leading them to "feel" it... enough to disrupt the status quo... and even threaten their own sales... story emotion questions are the keys.

    You just sold me your book..which leads me to mention you forgot Pitch 7 Make a fantastic informative Yotube video.

    Wow. This is actually incredible... did not expect that. If you can really sell me this book in a CZcams video, then the book about How to Sell is worth it.

    Nice video! what music did you use on the background?

  • @TimGreig
    @TimGreig Před 8 lety +45

    These are not really pitches they are mostly elements to incorporate into a pitch: a question or a rhyme for example. Even the Pixar 'pitch' really just sets a scene...but then what. They are good ideas but only part of the process

    Informative video, but the music is often too loud and distracting.

    man....it's pretty true that we all need to be salespeople...but I stink at it cause I don't like bothering people...and i can't ever think fast enough to say anything. These seem like good tips though if you can do it.

    is, being condemned to sell yourself, in order to survive; an inhuman way to live..?? also, although we live in this "creation"/lifestyle, can we not create a better utopia ?? .btw great video!! ;)

  • @dennisblogg

    While I do agree that Americans usually think of the USA as "the world". Most of us actually sell something everyday; weather it's a story, an item, a suggestion or merely your self. Every guy know that if you can't "sell" your self to a girl, you most likely won't get a girl.

  • @NoLeadsEnt
    @NoLeadsEnt Před 11 lety

    that word describes me the least to be honest. my motives to better my fellow man are selfish/egotistic? the problem i see with your analogy is simple. happiness is not ignorance. though ignorance is truly bliss. (i admit)but true happiness can only be found in the mind. an unhealthy mind(be polluted by rederick or poisonous diets) is destine for unhappiness. leaving only the small materialistic pleasures/momentary serotonin releases. they have drugs that work better.lol :) we must TRY HARDER

  • @vladtapia

    What are we selling? Ourselves?
    But why? Because we want someone to give us something..... Their vote..... Money..... Job.....,
    I think a more affective way to look at this is not to do one way sales pitch but to create collaboration. Think how much more sustainable of a relationship you have with collaboration. One way sales pitch doesn't create that. But the logic of the video is that everyone wants to sell to the masses but in reality we just selling to a small group of people and we selling them trust in you. One way fast sales pitch don't create authentic trust. Without authentic trust what kind of products or ideas can you possibly sell to someone? Be honest with yourself...... You won't sell someone to make you VP of a company in this fashion. Maybe you will sell someone a useless artifact but you won't sell them on a big ticket item.
    This video would be more complete if it taught people how to win trust of people very quickly and how to maintain such trust by being able to pick up key signals from your sales target and honing in on their decision drivers and values.

    The Pixar Pitch is a bit too cheesy for my liking, I like the others though. Great info

    How condescending your comments are. I do see the materialism and what if I feel people are free to live how they see fit. Even if it is bad for them the things that bring them happiness are theirs to enjoy. Why do you push for your point of view on something that you can't change in people "desire" and to have the ego to dictate how the world should enjoy and work for what they see fit.
    I understand your bumper sticker philosophy, but it seems puerile to know that it stems from your narcissism

    @MagWrath Před 11 lety

    You are not condemned, you are free to seek out other methods of survival and they are indeed possible. Your buzzword "creation/lifestyle" falls way short of being poignant I have no idea what you mean by that.
    Who's saying we aren't making a utopia by selling ideas that progress humanity as a whole.
    I think you should perhaps stop preaching as your message is flawed.
