Pitches Quotes

“Bold ideas are often called nonsense until they make sense to the masses. That's why it's important to present ideas, even when we fear they might be called stupid or silly. What they laugh at today, may be what they laud tomorrow.”
― Sam Harrison, Creative Zing! Spark Your Creativity & Powerfully Present Your ideas

“The core of PR ((public relations) is strongest where our identity and value relationships are built through sharing and caring interactions, not sold through marketing pitches asking directly for transactions." ~ @Tracey007Bond”

“Are the professionals that are pitching you online only marketing their services and products?

Or are they also delivering messages of authenticity, authority and education?

There is an abundance of people that use the latest content to hype, pitch, market and sell everyday.

It is a limited few that work to still market but choose to engage with education, information and direction.

Let their authority and knowledge sell you over another sales pitch from someone that might only know how to sell and not have the ability to perform what they are selling.”
― Loren Weisman

“Creativity isn't for sissies. It takes guts to hold up ideas for people to criticize, reject or ignore. But the possible pain is worth the potential payoff.”

“[During the honeymoon at a Catskill resort] A quiz was held during the afternoon, and guests were invited to volunteer. I raised my hand, of course, and became one of the contestants.... I was third in line, and when I rose to field my question in the first round, spontaneous laughter broke out from the audience. They had laughed at no one else.

The trouble was that I looked anxious, and when I look anxious I look even more stupid than usual. The reason I was anxious was that I wanted to shine and feared I would not. I knew that I was neither handsome, self-assured, athletic, wealthy, nor sophisticated. The only thing I had going for me was that I was clever and I wanted to show off to Gertruded. And I was afraid of failing and spelling "weigh" "WIEGH."

I ignored the laughter as best I could, and tried to concentrate. The master of ceremonies, trying not to grin and failing, said, "Use the word 'pitch' in sentences in such a way to demonstrate five different meanings of the word." (Heaven only knows where he got his questions.)

More laughter, as I paused for a moment to collect my thoughts. I then said, "John pitched the pitch-covered ball as intensely as though he was fighting a pitched battled, while Mary singing in a high-pitched voice, pitched a tent."

The laughter stopped as though someone had pulled a plug out of the socket. The master of ceremonies had me repeat it, counted the pitches, considered them, and pronounced me correct. Naturally by the time the quiz was over, I had won.... I noticed, though, that winning the quiz did not make me popular at the resort. Many people resented having wasted their laughter. The thought apparently was that I had no right to look stupid without being stupid; that, by doing so, I had cheated.”

“Knowing how to build a business is far more important than knowing how to build a pitch deck.”
