Season 1 · Episode 13

Sunday, January 29, 2023 • Duration 01:11:02

This week on Pitch Masters: Simon Sinek.

I’ve read Simon’s books and watched the Ted Talks as I’m sure many of you have, but what I really wanted to know was: how does he pitch?

In this episode, we go on a journey together through the end-to-end lifecycle of a pitch: ideation, structures, pitch decks, presenting, nerves, relationships, and all of those other stages that we have to go through for a compelling (and WINNING) pitch. Along the way, he tells me about his greatest-ever pitch - the one that got Start With Why published and launched his career.

S1E17: Neil Mullarkey, Austin Powers star, author, improv comedian and business guru

Season 1 · Episode 17

Sunday, March 26, 2023 • Duration 01:28:54

Episode 17 of Pitch Masters features the incredible Neil Mullarkey, star of Austin Powers, author of Seven Steps to Improve Your People Skills, and In The Moment, actor and improv comedy maestro. We talk about how to use improv in business, how to cast the perfect team for your pitch, debunking the myth of “Yes, and…”, mirror neurons and monkeys, and, of course, Swedish-made penis enlargers.

I was lucky enough to be taught ‘business improv’ by Neil a few years ago, and the lessons I learned from him have stuck with me forever. We met downstairs at the Comedy Store in London and spent an entire day telling stories and learning how the exact techniques used in improv comedy are directly applicable to business. In this episode, we drill down deep so you can learn them too.

This is an episode that is packed with a thousand usable tips for when you’re next pitching.

You can find out more about Neil on his website neilmullarkey.com, and order his new book In The Moment over at Koganpage.

S1E18: Jeb Blount, global sales guru and best-selling author of Sales EQ

Season 1 · Episode 18

Sunday, April 9, 2023 • Duration 01:10:34

Jeb Blount is sales royalty. He's published 15 books on selling, including Sales EQ, Fanatical Prospecting, and Objections, and he's been top of my Pitch Masters hit list since the show began.

In this episode we cover a huge amount of ground: qualifying deals, closing deals, relationships, stories, 'the ledge', 'murder boarding' the chessboard of sales, how to withhold information for leverage, and of course, how we can create emotional connections. In 70 minutes we cover the entire sales cycle, and Jeb gives me a ridiculous amount of insights that we can all use to improve our pitches and make more sales.

You can find out more about Jeb on his website salesgravy.com and I'd highly recommend you go buy one of his books on Amazon - Sales EQ is my all-time favourite.

I'm also pleased to announce that this is Pitch Master's first full VIDEO EPISODE, available on Apple and Youtube - just search for Pitch Masters.
