Do you want to convince a client to choose you over the competition, sell an idea to investors or convince your boss why you should be paid more? According to Oren Klaff, author of new book, Pitch Anything, your success in getting your way has more to do with your method than how hard you try. For me, that’s good news. Following a step-by-step approach that has been proven to work (and has apparently helped the author raise millions) is far less scary and more energy efficient than just trying harder!
Bad at pitching? It’s not your fault.
I might be going out on a limb here, but from the feedback we get here at the Australian Businesswomen’s Network, women are not traditionally good at the art of the pitch. Despite having the courage to start their business, many women lose faith in themselves when they attempt to sell their ideas. Boldness can escape them, right when it counts. But it’s not our fault. Like any business skill, knowing how to pitch is something that is learned. So, we just need to learn how. In an attempt to provide timely and relevant information and education to our community, I’ve invited Oren Klaff to be our guest on the BOOKED for Lunch author interview webinar on 29 February. I’m confident that Oren’s method will give you the confidence and skills to deliver more compelling and successful pitches. Oren Klaff is Director of Capital Markets for California-based investment bank Intersection Capital, where he pitches for – and raises – tens of millions from investors and institutions. During the free one-hour webinar, Oren will introduce you to crystal-clear examples of his unique S.T.R.O.N.G. Method, which he uses in pitches to get ahead of the competition and win the deal by Setting the Frame; Telling the Story; Revealing the Intrigue; Offering the Prize; Nailing the Hookpoint; and Getting a Decision. Each of these tactics can work individually. Used together, they could make a potent cocktail for conquering the deal. And, if you can’t make it along LIVE, then you can sign up and you’ll be sent the recording.
