Anatomy of a Lousy Pitch
The 6 Worst Presentation Habits and How to Avoid Them
Whether you are speaking to an audience of one or one thousand, it’s crucial that you engage your listeners. As the presentation coach for some of today’s fastest growing companies, I know exactly what it takes to deliver messages that get results.
Throughout my career, I’ve observed lots of presentations… literally thousands of them. I’ve been moved to tears, lulled to sleep and everything in between. This keynote takes a fun look at the six worst (and most common) presentation habits and gives audiences specific ideas on how to conquer them.
Anatomy of a Lousy Pitch helps business professionals learn how to:
- Avoid the #1 mistake most presenters still make
- Grab your listener’s attention in the first two minutes
- Organize your ideas in a clear, concise and compelling approach
- Avoid the fatal trap most presenters fall into on “the big day”
- Eliminate death by PowerPoint
- Leverage the two most important (and overlooked) elements of successful presentations
- Ask the critical question that will win your audience’s approval
Stop Pitching, Start Solving
Helping Customers Discover What They Really Want
You probably have a number of questions that you like to ask customers during a sales call. Maybe you recognize a few of these:
“What are your goals?”
“Do you have a budget?”
“Who is involved in the decision making process?”
“What keeps you up at night?”
While these questions may seem interesting to you, your customer probably finds them to be mind numbing. They don’t stimulate new thinking and ultimately you sound like every other rep that has walked through the door. Typically these conversations end with the prospect saying “Why don’t you leave some brochures for me to review and I’ll get back to you?”
This program teaches professional sales representative how to craft questions that ignite emotions, discover motivations and get customers to act.
Stop Pitching, Start Solving will helps audiences learn how to…
- Recognize and control the urge to pitch prematurely
- Ask thought provoking (not mind numbing!) questions
- Use open questions to close more business
- Ask the “hard” questions in an “easy” way
- Kick your “hopeium” habit and make it easier for prospects to tell you the truth
Smart Prospecting Simplified
If you’re like most sales professionals I know, you’re always looking for opportunities to make more money.

If your prospecting efforts aren’t producing the right results or you’re simply frustrated with your current plan, then I’ve got some good news for you! This keynote reveals my very own step-by-step approach for finding new business.

- Use a simple 6 step process for crafting the “perfect” elevator pitch that delivers results
- Capture attention using 10 creative (and proven) ways to stay in touch
- Be persistent in your prospecting approach (without becoming a pest)
- Lower resistance to your calls by implementing my multi-touch prospecting campaign
- Breakthrough the voicemail/email barriers that most reps face
