When you’re at a professional event—whether you're trying to sell, partner, or simply make meaningful connections—there’s one truth you can’t ignore:
The moment people sense a pitch, their guard goes up, their attention fades, and their interest evaporates.
That clever explanation or convincing argument you’ve rehearsed. It’s not landing the way you think it is. If you want someone to say “yes” to your idea, stop pitching. Imagine someone trying to sell you something. If they’re using a scripted pitch, what are the chances it truly speaks to your unique needs or motivations? Slim to none. That’s why it’s time to ditch the pitch. The most powerful way to persuade isn’t with a one-size-fits-all message—it’s through a real, personalized conversation that your audience actually cares about. Try these strategies instead:
- Think Conversation, Not Presentation Ditch the script. Start a dialogue.
- Uncover What’s Happening Behind the Scenes
- Go with the Flow - Stay flexible. Let the conversation evolve naturally.
- Make It About Them, Not You - Focus on their story, not your solution.
- Share and Listen to Stories Stories create connection. Let your conversation be a shared narrative.
