    About this audiobook

    Media guru and Emmy Award-winning correspondent Bill McGowan—coach to some of the biggest names in business and entertainment, including Eli Manning, Kelly Clarkson, Jack Welch, Thomas Keller and Kenneth Cole teaches you how to get your message across and get what you want with pitch perfect communication.  He is also a trusted advisor in the C-suites of tech companies like, Facebook, Spotify, AirBnB, Dropbox and Salesforce.com.

    Saying the right thing the right way can make the difference between sealing the deal or losing the account, getting a promotion, or getting a pink slip. It’s essential to be pitch perfect—to get the right message across to the right person at the right time. In Pitch Perfect, Bill McGowan shows you how to craft the right message and deliver it using the right language—both verbal and nonverbal.

    Pitch Perfect teaches you how to overcome common communication pitfalls using McGowan’s simple Principles of Persuasion, which are highly effective and easy to learn, implement, and master. With Pitch Perfect you can harness the power of persuasion and have people not only listening closely to your every word but also remembering you long after you’ve left the room.

      pretty good. would be better if he did not spend so much time talking about how great he is and stuck to one of his own golden rules - keep it short and sweet.

      Really dragged out... I kept having to fast forward to get to some meaty bits. Ted Talks by Chris Anderson is a far better read.
    • 5/5
      The only book contains everything you need for social interactions, even situations I've never thought of. Great and entertaining book,

      Awesome listen!

      A bit surprised by how good this book was. It's been almost 2 years since I read it and it still sticks with me. The author, an alum of the television show Inside Edition, delivers the good. I was no fan of the show, but I respect his ability to communicate, succinctly, directly, persuasively, in a memorable way. Lots of great examples included. I recommend it.

      Pitch Perfect is my first reading venture into the world of business. I’m starting college in the fall, as a business major, and wanted to get some insight into the field I have chosen. I began searching for the best business books and this one seemed to be highly recommended. I started with it to learn the ways of the corporate world. Inside, I found more than I expected. Bill has accomplished a lot as a communications coach. Pitch Perfect is a solid source for learning to speak efficiently in any scenario. Whether it’s public speaking or catching up with an old friend, this book has you covered. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that struggles with job interviews, giving a presentation, or just looking to improve their overall talent as a speaker.
