It’s a well-known fact that everyone is in sales. Whether ‘sales’ is in someone’s job description or not, they constantly need to persuade others to take action or at least consider another angle. Those who dislike thinking of themselves as selling something have the greatest challenge with persuasion.This book tackles a very specific aspect of persuasion: preparing the pitch or presentation, or simply doing some deep thinking and planning before an important conversation.After reading this book, the reader will feel empowered and inspired to try the new techniques, and could even be excited about persuading others about their passion or ideas.
