Pitch Like Hollywood

Inside tips on how to craft pitches that seal the deal—no matter what  industry you work in—and banish presentation anxiety forever

From  impromptu elevator pitches to full-board presentations, sales and  marketing professionals face an "audience" daily―often with  make-or-break consequences. As the person delivering the performance,  you need to know you have a great script and are able to maintain  composure throughout.

To help you perfect both pitch and  performance, there are no better coaches than clinical psychologist  Peter Desberg and writer/producer Jeffrey Davis. With experience and  insights from both the film industry and the corporate world, they  understand the pitch process.

In Pitch Like Hollywood, they show  you how to up your game substantially—no matter what business you're  in—by incorporating elements of a classic Hollywood pitch: driving  emotion, piquing curiosity, and ultimately winning over decision makers  with powerful persuasion and performance. They take you on an insider's  tour of the entire process, from defining the fundamentals to designing  effective presentation strategies to overcoming stage fright.

With  chapters that include Persuasion Boot Camp, The Pitch Panic Cycle, and  Creating the Pitch II (The Sequel), Pitch Like Hollywood provides a  front-row seat in a master class on giving great performances for any  audience, every time—at board meetings, sales calls, and whenever else  you want to make a case to get the results you want.
