      Book Presentation: Pitch Perfect by Bill Mcgowan

      Summary of Pitch Perfect (Bill McGowan)

      Book Abstract

      What makes a great presentation?

      When you look through the tens of thousands of video clips which have been gathered over the years for televisions news shows, it becomes clear stand-out presentations always adhere to the same set of seven principles:

      An engaging headline

      Vivid visual images

      Make it rich and brief

      Think, then talk

      Exude certainty

      Be insatiably curious

      Play to your strengths

      If you want what you say to be memorable and ultimately influential, work at integrating these seven principles of persuasion into your sound bite or pitch. Your listeners will love you for it.

      Despite their important and universality, few people know about these principles, and even fewer understand how to use them. That's because many of these principles are counter-intuitive. For instance, the less you say, the more people hear and remember. I promise you that soon, rather than fear high-stakes situations, you'll look forward to them. Rather than find them terrifying, you'll feel a sense of exhilaration. When you use the Principles of Persuasion to your advantage, you'll feel confident and at peace as you win the client, nail the job interview, or deliver the best speech of your life.
