One of the great things that has happened to me over the past year has been getting to know all of the immensely talented individuals in the communication world. People like Brent Duncan with Marketing in Progress, Jan Schultink at Slides That Stick and Jon Thomas at Presentation Advisors to name just a few.
Several months ago, Joey Asher asked me if I would be interested in looking over his book 'How to Win a Pitch' and talk about it on my blog. I was flattered that he had thought of me and was more than happy to do it. Unfortunately I got caught up in too much stuff for a while and had to put the book on the back-burner for a while. Of course when I did this, it fell off my radar for a while and I never got back to his wonderful book - until now.
Even though the book has been out for some time now, I decided to write about it for a couple of reasons. First off, it is a wonderful book that needs to be promoted by anyone dealing with communication. I am always looking for great books that can inspire me to become a better communicator and that is exactly what Joey Asher's book did. One of the biggest things I liked about was the structure and simplicity of it. The book is not overly wordy and it breaks things down to the key ideas you need to incorporate to be successful.
Secondly, his book in now available in audio form for those who would rather listen to the book rather than read it. So, if you are too busy to read or you do a lot of driving or if you just like listening to audio books - pick up Joey Asher's 'How to Win a Pitch'. Hopefully, it won't take you as long to read it (or listen to it) as I did - because you'll just lose clients by not reading it!
Great post and thank you so much for the mention.
