🔖 What people say about "The Art of the Pitch"?
"This book is fantastic! I've been in sales over 20 years and read a lot of "sales" books during that time. Coughter offers a fresh approach to presenting: yourself, your ideas, your pitch. I found the book to be relevant, and learned some new things I can put into action immediately.
If you have ever done a Power Point presentation, or suffered thru one, you should pick this book up. Aside from my interest in the theme, the flow of the book was particularly easy to read. Does the very title of the book cause him to pay close attention to this as he is writing it? Perhaps."
