Pitch away, no one cares

We spend a great deal of time trying to perfect our pitches, we attend seminars, retreats, buy books and listening to ‘experts’ all telling us how to deliver the ‘killer’ pitch.

The reality is no one cares anymore for our pitches, and in fact, they were too busy rehearsing their’s to be listening to yours anyway.

Want more business?

Then connect with people, help them, share something with them and give them something useful. Build trust, build a relationship and most importantly tell your story so that you inspire them to want to be part of your tribe.

Manipulation and sales are dead.

The truly genuine successes in life are the ones who don’t care about perfecting a pitch or what everyone else thinks, they create something that matters to them and share it with people who will care as they are connected.

The mass is melting and disappearing with it is the perfect pitch.

Cheating yourself – like, share, RT….

OK hands up, who has liked, shared or RT’d a post, article, blog, video etc without even reading or watching?

OK so maybe I’m the only one.

We live in a content saturated world and we all apply the ‘shit content’ filter now to be able to cut through the jungle of ‘blah, blah, blah’ to the stuff we like.

However, I am also noticing now how many people robotically will like an Instagram post, a blog or other content simply because it was tagged with #WhateverBollocks.

It’s like the ‘follower’ junkies who think they are popular (not sure who wants to be that) hoovering up followers with insincere tactics to get you to follow them, like the people who don’t know you blowing smoke up your arse on LinkedIn by endorsing you for a skill you don’t have. Now we have the sharers, who don’t look at what they’ve shared.

For me I say, carry on, as you’re the ones missing out, as you are cheating yourself of the great content, or maybe not so great, that you’ve blindly shared.

I for one will only share stuff I have read and genuinely like, not because the poster is popular or demands it to be shared.

Please feel free to share this LOL.
