Summary

A Hollywood Pitch Master spills his bag of pitching tricks to show you how to turn any proposition into an effective, compelling, 3-minute pitch。

Most people assume a good pitch is a flashy, elaborate affair with dozens of talking points and beautiful slides that needs to be at least 20 minutes long to be taken seriously。 Brant Pinvidic says that's absolutely untrue: all you need is three minutes。

Brant Pinvidic is one of the most successful reality TV producers in Hollywood, having sold more than 300 TV and movie projects。 From Bar Rescue to The Biggest Loser, Brant has convinced risk-averse studios to turn over their money for his ideas - not by using his charm (though he is pretty charming), or by calling his ideas the greatest things since sliced bread (though they are pretty great)。

Instead, he uses a simple, straightforward system called the WHAC method to boil any idea down to its most essential components, and structure it for maximum impact。 By answering the questions: "What is it? How does it work? Are you sure? Can you do it?" you can weave your most crucial points into a compelling narrative structure and use the power of storytelling in any setting and at any level。

It's a method that's helped Brant sell each of his projects in no more than 3 minutes。 But it's not just good for pitching Hollywood! Brant shows you how the same method has helped everyone from Fortune 100 CEOs to PTA presidents。 It's helped plumbers sell home restoration systems, lawyers win cases, and oil drillers sell stock, and it's going to help you, too。

I recently had the experience of being part where I had to pitch my proposal in 8 minutes。8 minutes was a challenge, and that's why this book caught my attention because it is proposing that you should effectively pitch (present & persuade) a proposal in only 3 minutes!The author is Brant Pinvidic, an award-winning Canadian- American documentary film director and television producer。 Learning from his job experience in selling proposals to TV networks, he is mentoring and consulting business o I recently had the experience of being part where I had to pitch my proposal in 8 minutes。8 minutes was a challenge, and that's why this book caught my attention because it is proposing that you should effectively pitch (present & persuade) a proposal in only 3 minutes!The author is Brant Pinvidic, an award-winning Canadian- American documentary film director and television producer。 Learning from his job experience in selling proposals to TV networks, he is mentoring and consulting business on the art of making effective proposals。The book’s main idea is that if you are selling your idea your audience will be eager for information and they have very short attention span。 So you have to grab their attention and well inform them about your proposal within a very short time on the following four elements (WHAC methodology as the author dubbed it):· What is it about?· How it works?· Are you sure?· Can you do it?The first two steps are about conceptualizing the idea in the minds of the recipients。 The third step is putting it in context, and the fourth is to make it actionable。To achieve this, the author is proposing that you have to brainstorm your proposal and come out with value statements, which are facts about your proposal/company written in the language of added-value。 The second step is to choose the five to six statements that are a must to communicate and discard the rest。 Then you can use those statements to build your rationalizing story。 A couple of tweaks; add a hook to your story- the one thing that makes it cool, and the edge- what differentiate your proposal from others。I believe this book has a value and it is certainly written in a nice Canadian no nonsense quality! 。。。more
