Pitch Anything

Pitch Anything is an established work in the pitching and negotiation book categories. It is not perfect, but it is one of the best books for introducing entrepreneurs to the importance of pitching, selling, and negotiating persuasively. Entrepreneurs must pitch to attract co-founders and early team members, to obtain early stage funding, to close customers and other commercial partners, to close later stage funding rounds, and, ultimately, to go public or exit in a sale. While Pitch Anything is a good book, the brashness of some of its advice, particularly around what Klaff calls “frames,” do not fit all persons… show more.

Once in a blue moon, a book comes along and shatters long-standing traditions that establishments have been following without question. Pitch Anything is one such “once in a blue moon” book. It teaches tactics and strategies from the field of neuroeconomics that illuminate new ways of presenting, pitching, and marketing your ideas and offers. I leverage this book’s “big ideas” in many aspects of our marketing endeavors.
