How can you learn to Pitch from a Book?

I've just launched the new book about Pitching, Pitch to Win. A number of people have recently asked me this question - can you really learn to pitch from a book?
I have three reasons why I believe Pitch To Win will help you make big jumps in your pitches, and get closer to persuading your audience to invest in your startup or innovation.
1. Actionable
The book is jammed with practical tools you can use to raise your game. This is not theory, pointless acronyms, or 'Just prepare yourself'. The Action steps in this book have all been tested countless times with over 700 Startups and 9000 professionals at major corporates.
2. Easy to read
Pitch To Win is broken down into manageable pieces - short paragraphs and short sentences. I take you through all the steps you need to Script, Design and Deliver your winning pitch, plus provide you with real tools to manage your nerves.
- Script - how to get the story straight, organise your thoughts, decide what content should be in, how to open and close, and how not to over-explain.
- Design - packed with slide design resources for non-designers! Anyone can apply the tips on making slides visual, consistent and professional, to add polish to your pitch.
- Deliver - practical ways you can solve body language and voice problems, and find your true story so that you can pitch from the heart, as well as the head - and finish on time!
3. Real life pitch examples
Reading how you could open your pitch or explain the pain is one thing - watching three 30-second video examples of how real pitchers do it is even better. Here's a movie to explain how the QR codes in the book link you to actual pitches.
Naturally face to face coaching is the best way to improve your pitching (contact me HERE if you want to find out more about my pitch workshops for companies and accelerators).
But when time and money are tight and you want to develop your pitching skills fast, in your own time, Pitch To Win is designed to help you succeed, and shine in your next pitch.
Be Passionate. Be Professional. And Pitch To Win!
