Nice one Rosie, more power to you if you still find smucks that fall for a sleazy 'used car sales' pitch like that. Bottom line is that the 'pitch' is gonna depend on what youre selling, whether a product or a service, or both. The prospect needs to hear that you have a solution to a problem that they didnt even know existed, so the pitch has to be two fold, first create a problem then fix it. Asking questions 'out of the box' that makes the prospect think in their mind, "hmm, Ive never thought of it that way," Trust me, there are 50 other sales smucks like you calling and trying to sell them crap on a daily basis, why should you be any different......There are also many books written on SPIN selling, which is a very subtle yet effective way of pitching a product or service..Good luck.
