Please Pitch Slap Me & Tell Me What I’m Doing Wrong “?? ?????? ?????????? ?????????????? ?????????? ??????????????????. ?????????? ???????????? ?????????????? ?????????????? ????????,” I wrote last week about pitch slapping (communicating your services soon after meeting). They said it was the comment of the day. That made me smile. Only... it was a lie. The truth was, I enjoyed it. Not due to a penchant for being spanked. But because I prefer it when people get to the point. You might be genuinely interested in how my week’s been. Or really want to bond with a fellow follower of Hormozi. But I know and you know, it’s building up to a pitch. ???? ????????????. ?????? ???? ???????? ????. We'll both save time. I’m rather bemused by the hostility to pitch slapping. ** SCANDALOUS ** ?????????????? ???????? ?? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???? ???????? ?? ???????????????? ????????????????. How dare they. It's ok... you're in safe waters. Why don't you tell me what you've got? If I need it, I’ll check out your profile and content. That's how I'll judge your professionalism and personality. I’d be naive to conclude either from this conversation, when you’re on best behaviour, in Focused Sell Mode. ???????? ???? ???????? ??’?? ?????????? ?????????? Also, if you see a typo in my content, or think I’m being a muppet, please say. Again, I’m perplexed by the hostility (to unsolicited advice). In real life, I’d want to to be told my flies were undone. Or that I'm on the wrong path to the summit. That there's a useful shortcut over there. Wouldn't you? If it's useful, the delivery doesn't matter. Even if they go about it in a cack handed manner, I’d rather know, then decide what to do with the info. Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day. Even the most obnoxious troll can bear useful tidings. But if you're a d!ck in how you do it, forgive me if I don't answer. ????????????????????, ?????????? ?????? ????. I’ve always had a keen eye for them - whether on the lookout or not. I agree it’s inefficient to seek perfection 24/7. But nothing will ever convince me it’s not worth correcting typos on: - Profile pages (especially banners and headlines) - Client emails (especially welcome sequences) - Lead magnets (often your first touchpoint) - Websites (especially home/sales pages) Especially if you're in marketing, branding or professional services of any kind. So if I like the look of you, I’ll point them out. A friendly gesture, "Your flies are undone, mate." What you do with it, is up to you. But it'll tell me much about your professionalism, and whether I’d trust you with my brand. ???? ?????????????? ?????? ????????. I write thought leadership & personality pieces for them. They most certainly don't want typos. They also liked how I got to the point when we met. Not just me then. ???????? ????????????????? PS. Gratuitous no-context pic. Sorry, not sorry.

Let’s talk about the pitch.Too often, it’s overlooked. We think we know what we’re selling so it's natural, but how often do we actually practice saying it out loud? Repeating it? Refining it? Adapting it to the person we’re speaking to? A pitch isn’t just a set of words—it’s a tool. And like any tool, it needs to be sharpened. We’ve spent weeks working on the personas we address, diving deep into their goals, challenges, and motivations. Why? Because a great pitch starts with understanding who you’re talking to. Your pitch is for the moment someone asks you, “So, what do you do?” Not the times you’re throwing it out unsolicited, hoping it sticks. I’m talking about those 30-40 seconds when you have your audience’s full attention. That window where every word matters. A great pitch should: Spark curiosity and make them want to know more. Show that you understand their world and have something valuable to offer. Adapt to resonate with the specific person in front of you, not just a generic crowd. Crafting a pitch like that doesn’t happen by accident. It takes practice. It takes feedback. And it takes effort to refine it until it feels natural and impactful. So, the next time someone asks you, “What do you do?” will your answer stand out? What’s your process for perfecting your pitch?

How to Write the Perfect Pitch We’ve all been there—crafting the perfect pitch can be the difference between YES and crickets. But how do you make sure yours stands out? Here’s the formula for pitching like a pro: ? Start Strong: Your opening line is your hook! Grab attention right away with a compelling reason to read more. ? Know Your Audience: Tailor your pitch to the person you’re speaking to. What do they care about? ? Be Clear & Concise: Skip the fluff and get straight to the value. Why should they care? What’s in it for them? ? Show Credibility: Briefly highlight your experience or success stories that back up your pitch. ? End with a Clear Ask: What do you want them to do next? Be specific, whether it’s a meeting, collaboration, or feedback. ?? A well-crafted pitch opens doors and builds relationships. But remember, it’s not just about selling—it's about showing value! ??

Article 7: Preparing for Questions During Your Pitch One of the keys to a successful pitch is handing the questions – the Q&A. Anticipating the potential objections or concerns of your audience lets you demonstrate preparedness and confidence. You can have a great pitch and then lose the prize if you fumble with a difficult question. Ideally, you head off many questions by covering key concerns in your pitch – but it is impossible to cover every possible question. Start by listing most likely questions that could arise during or after your pitch, and prepare clear, concise, well-thought-out responses. Showing that you’ve considered these challenges and have solutions ready not only boosts your credibility but also reassures your audience that you’ve thoroughly thought through your idea. Being ready for questions also means staying calm and composed during the Q&A session, using it as an opportunity to further highlight the strengths of your idea. A well-handled question session can turn sceptics into supporters and leave a lasting positive impression. Practice answering these questions just as you practice giving your pitch. Get feedback to assure that your answers are clear, persuasive and understandable. Always be calm and respectful when fielding questions. If you are not certain that you understand the question, ask to have it re-phrased. If your team is with you, and the question falls within another team member’s expertise, you can have them answer it BUT be sure that they are also well prepared to field questions. Answer the question and honestly and responsively as you can. If you cannot answer the question, be honest about that and ask if you can do some research and get back to them with the answer.

? Stop! You're pitching all wrong! Discover the simple switch that'll make your clients listen closely. ? Have you ever caught yourself saying 'we' more times than 'you' in your business pitches? If so, it's time to flip that script. Here's an overlooked yet game-changing tip - focus more on 'you' and less on 'we'. Prepping for your next pitch? Pay attention to how often you say 'we', 'us', and 'our' in comparison to 'you' and 'your'. If the former outweighs the latter, it's time for a recalibration. Here's the deal - clients care less about what 'we' as a company can do, and more about what 'you' as a client can achieve with our offerings. They're interested in hearing how 'your' challenges can be tackled, how 'your' life can be enhanced. So, if your pitch revolves around phrases like: "We provide...", "Our team can...", or "We have the best...", it's high time to change the narrative. Position your clients as the central character and the victor of the story. Experiment with phrases like: "You'll benefit from...", "Your problem can be solved by...", or "You will see improvements in..." instead. #SalesPitches #BusinessMistakes #CommunicationSkills"

Want to know the secret to a killer pitch? Hint: It's not about pitching. Turn it into a natural, engaging conversation. How? Ask open-ended questions. Open-ended questions help you learn more about your prospect, their business, character, ambition, and goals – key insights to help you understand the type of partner they could be. When you stick to predictable questions like "What's your budget?" it feels too salesy and people get closed off. So, instead, ask questions that get the conversation going… questions that allow you to weave your agency’s value and strategy into the conversation. The bottom line:? ? Closed-ended questions kill the conversation.? ?? Open-ended questions keep it going.

You’re losing clients every time you send a cold DM. No one likes getting pitch-slapped. And the worst part? It doesn’t work.
