Summary
In today's world, customers don't want to hear sales pitches, but many salespeople still rely on them. In this breakthrough audiobook, Steve Yastrow, founder of a successful business strategy consulting firm, asks us to throw out everything we've been taught about pitching to customers. His advice: "Tear up your sales pitch and instead improvise persuasive conversations."
Ditch the Pitch is an essential listen for salespeople, business managers, and anyone wishing to persuade those around them. Organized into six habits, each consisting of three practices necessary for mastery, Ditch the Pitch is designed to teach Yastrow's approach to fresh, spontaneous, persuasive conversations. These new skills will show the listener how to identify the details that make each customer unique and subsequently navigate a conversation that focuses on the right message for the right customer at the right time.
Throughout the book, the author quotes well-known improv comedians and musicians and translates the techniques these artists use when improvising to create persuasive situations with customers. With the new confidence Ditch the Pitch offers, you will become master of the art of on-the-spot, engaging, and effective customer interactions. Let go of prewritten scripts and embrace Yastrow's guidelines for effortlessly enabling spontaneous conversations that persuade customers to say yes.

Okay but its like reading a stage acting book.
80% of this is us trying to apply concepts used by improv stage actors to our businesses. It's all good information but perhaps leans too heavy in that direction. I can still recommend this book however as its a short listen and you may learn/ think about something differently.

Great book for salespeople just starting out
80% of the advice in this book is common sense for an agile sales professional. If you are not a seasoned sales professional, you'll learn a lot of basic concepts for sales pitches in general. I was too advanced to get much from the read, but there were a couple of phrases Steve used that I wrote down to think about for my own delivery.

Should be called the art of improvisation
Ditch the pitch... Its a great catchy slogan but that's about it. What you get is hours of chat about the art and development of improvisational acting and comedy. It's a shame that the author uses a bit of suedo science to back up ideas that really aren't science fact. The whole thing is over long, you could literally condense this to an hour. The idea is correct but to believe you can sell without a well thought out pitch is ridiculous. The author wants you to imagine that you can enter a conversation and not use prior knowledge. There is no such thing as random and if you hate improvisational comedy you won't like this book.
