This segment began as an open discussion involving a lot of silliness. However, from that silly wrapper emerged an exploration of whether we should keep pitches simple thereby allowing the work to speak louder. Would this lead to more acceptances?
Also, James drops his never-fail pickup line—so…don’t miss that action!
Questions for Listeners
* What are your pitch dos and don’ts?
* Do you find pitching tedious?
* Do you have a process?
* What’s the simplest pitch you’ve ever given that succeeded?
