Pitch Anything

Just a Teaser - No Real Content

Would you try another book from Oren Klaff and/or Oren Klaff?

In his book, Oren only gives an introduction to his techniques. He teases with glitzy stories of intrigue and success and, to be honest, makes it sound like he really has all the answers. The problem is that if you want the full story you have to purchase his program from his website that goes for over $300 A MONTH!

Would you ever listen to anything by Oren Klaff again?

I would not trust Oren's books to relay anything of significance

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Excitement at first, then disappointment at the end

Very old-school approach to selling.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

This is a fluff piece of BS where the author is way over confident and list a collection of tips and tricks to give a presentation. But in the end it is a mismatch with the way people buy today and misleading.

Excellent... period.

What did you love best about Pitch Anything?

I love the fact that the information and methods outlined really do track with actual science, and if you wanted you could pick up any piece of research on Neuro or Behavioral Economics and verify the concepts Oren is talking about.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character in this book isn't a character at all, but the pace this book takes. Oren blasts through his ideas in a way that literally keeps you on the edge of your seat, but is clear, concise, and doesn't gloss over the "good stuff". For a business book, this was a new one for me... normally I listen to books during my commute, but with this one I found myself leaving earlier in the morning and sitting in the parking lot upon arrival trying to will myself to stop.

What about Oren Klaff’s performance did you like?

Oren's energy and presence gives a voice and power to his book that I don't think could have been achieved had he hired someone else to do the recording.

Any additional comments?

My initial reaction to Oren's personality and reading of this book wasn't good. He comes across loud, arrogant, and completely enamored with himself... With that being said, by the time you get to the end it feels right and fits. The book isn't about doing things the way they've been done before, and by telling the story the way he does he sets that frame and carries it through to the end.
I highly recommend this book, and was already recommending it to people before I was finished. It's a fantastic method built and real science, and I can't wait to start incorporating it into my own strategies.

Making it Happen

Where does Pitch Anything rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Out of my entire library this book resides in the top 10.

What other book might you compare Pitch Anything to and why?

If Chip and Dan Heath's "Made to Stick" is the "stickiness" of an idea, then "Pitch Anything" is the "applicator". Metaphorically, these two books combine to create the "PostIt Note" of goal driven idea sharing.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did...and I harnessed the material two days later when pitching my CEO on a new business idea.

Any additional comments?

This book is not about selling. It is about reaching your audience in a way that harnesses the neuroscience behind how we receive and respond to new information. I should also mention that I was able to speak personally with Oren Klaff before pitching my CEO. He responded to my request for help in less than 48 hrs of my email. His intuitive understanding of my issue was spot on, and his advice was sincere and extremely helpful.

Don't be decieved, this book is not about sales!

What did you love best about Pitch Anything?

This book is way more than that. It covers aspects of business and sales, but the concepts can be used in your personal life too. I bought it because it was recommended by Internet Business Mastery. I loved it even though I do not pitch. I am developing a product and will be using the techniques Oren describes to help me find investors.

One thing I didnt like was the narration. It was boring and tedious and lacked emotion. Weird also listening to someone read exactly from the book without modifying for the audio audience, you will notice what I mean when you buy it. Thankfully the content is brilliant.

Highly recommended this book if you are an entreprenuer or business owner wanting to learn about human nature and how to identify situations where you could produce a better outcome or the outcome you want.

There is also a complimentary monthly membership program that Oren has setup to support any further learnings.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Oren because he has the credibility and done his research to back his findings.

What three words best describe Stephen Bowlby’s performance?

Not that impressed, boring and lacked emotion. Also think when someone is reading a book that is a recollection of the author and you know they are not the author that maybe they should consider modifying the narration just slightly. As with some of the references in the book that don't make sense in an audio.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was really impressed and had never thought of human interaction in this way.

You Know what to do, This Book tells you HOW to do

I'm in Sales, I've listened to a LOT of sales strategy and business books.
I got more value in the first 7 minutes, than I have in hours and hours of other business books.
7 minutes in, and I was like OMG this is huge..This is a road map, a repeatable method to follow, to get more sales.

Just finished listening to the Audio version of Pitch Anything, and started re-listening to it again. Very informative, I've already started implementing what I'm learning. Thank you Oren for all the time and effort you put into learning and sharing this method.

You want to be "That Sales Pro" That everyone compares success too?
-Then get this book, and use it.

Awesome

What did you love best about Pitch Anything?

Amazing concept. Great delivery on the audiobook

What was one of the most memorable moments of Pitch Anything?

Closing the airport deal

What does Oren Klaff bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The method in which he explains each portion of the plan helps it all make sense. He obviously has done his 10000 hours on the subject and knows it inside out.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No
Too much to take in. Best if taken in pieces and reread to really understand it.

Any additional comments?

well worth the money.

I Couldn't Buy Into It

What disappointed you about Pitch Anything?

The concept is you can pitch anything by seizing the moment and dominating the meeting. I've sold millions of dollars of new technology to companies like Walmart, Walgreen, and Deluxe and I never met a buyer like Oren describes. If the product (or concept) makes economic sense, you don't need a gimmick.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Currently I'm into web marketing and communication.

Did Oren Klaff do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

This is nonfiction. What characters?

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Even if I disagree with the author, listening still sharpens my skills.

A Refreshing New Way of Doing Business

This is the way it should be done. Fun, exciting, professional and short. Oren Klaff knows his stuff and narrates his own work with passion and zeal. I believe his technique will work and I am taking on board his techniques, philosophy and methods, although I will do it with my unique style. I never wanted to be a salesman, but this book has given me the idea that I can do it, do it right and keep to my ideals. I don't recommend you listen to this book as I am not sure I want everybody out there to know this, but then again, bad pitches are such a waste of time. You still have to do your work to get your presentation right and know your stuff, but this book will give you a method that will work wonders, in my belief.
