There is a good idea here -- using psychology and human behavior to optimize pitching. However, I found the PUA terminology and general huckster-sales version of business to be perpetually off-putting. I'd rather read something like Thinking Fast and Slow instead. There were a few additional insights specific to pitching (control of time and availability, venue), but nothing really novel.

I was torn between a 1 (dude is fairly obnoxious) and a 5 (the core concept of using different appeals to emotion and human behavior).

Pitch Anything is the perfect mix of concept, cases and cognitive theory. Klaff knows his craft from first-hand experience, and the written text is as compelling as he likely is when in person, in the moment. What I most appreciate about this book is the underlying foundation Klaff lays out, based on how our brains actually work. However, he quickly moves into applying the principles. As I read, I kept thinking about the TV show Shark Tank. The most successful pitches seem to follow distinct elements outlined in this book - the ones that win and the ones that at least keep from getting sideways. This is one of those books you need to read and then quickly start practicing. I highly recommend it, but maybe it's not right for you.… (mais)

Interesting argument that people buy into a sales pitch at an emotional level, rather than a rational/intellectual level. Oren tells way too many random stories from his own sales pitches, but the general content is worthwhile.
