Pitch Anything: An Innovative Method for Presenting, Persuading, and Winning the Deal

I'm glad I stuck with it, I was on the verge of putting this down a number of times. Pitch Anything had some solid suggestions on how to gain and hold someone's attention and a lot of borderline pseudo-science that the author has misappropriated to support his claims. As per Klaff's suggestion, this book would have worked better as a 20 minute presentation, I'm sure.

Klaff details his plan to successfully win VC pitches that has successfully won him many contracts.

Even if you don't deliver that specific pitch in your daily activities learning this terminology (frames, shifting power, moral authority, don't be desperate, etc.) will help you structure arguments.
Unless I find something better, I'll use this as a reference book.

Was annoyed with the author's constant references to humans' "croc brains" and how he's had "10,000 hours of practice" with this method.

Enjoyed his analysis of French waiters as well as his telling of his most impressive pitch.

Frame, frame, frame. Asserting yourself. Taking risks knowing full-well you will fail. Gaining respect by respecting your own time. Using social conventions to dominate the situation

The stories are high stakes and resemble the Ocean's movie franchise. However, the advice doesn't seem actionable. Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss had more useful ideas.
