History & Criticism

Van Nostrand-Reinhold

The pitch is the essence of modern business. In pitching for new business, ideas and emotional intelligence dominate. And the skills of the pitch can also apply to just about every significant personal transaction in your life. The ultimate how-to book; a mixture of mentoring, graphics, anthropology, market research and modern Machiavellianism, Life’s a Pitch shows you how to handle human transactions and prepare you for success. Whether at a sales conference in corporate conference room hell or over lunch at a glamorous restaurant, a pitch is not about transferring information, it’s about transferring power. It is business, but it is also theatre, and the results of a successful pitch are, quite simply, money and power. Part inspirational manual for business, part guidebook to a successful and happy social life, Life’s a Pitch is the result of an accumulated half-century of (mostly successful) pitching by the authors and will transform the way you think about the art of persuasion forever.

Product Description The pitch is the absolute essence of modern business. Ideas are the most valuable commodity in the modern economy and it is human skill which develops them. In pitching for new business, ideas and emotional intelligence dominate. However the skills of the pitch are not only relevant to the world of business, rather they apply to just about every significant personal transaction in your life... Life's a Pitch is the ultimate how-to book - a mixture of mechanics and magic. Nothing like it has been written before. A mixture of mentoring, graphics, anthropology, market research and modern Machiavellianism, this book will prepare you for success. So whether at a sales conference in corporate conference room hell or over lunch at a glamourous restaurant, Life's a Pitch tells you how to handle human transactions. A pitch is not a meeting, it's a drama. A pitch is not about transferring information, it's about transferring power. It is business, but it is also theatre. And the results of a successful pitch are - quite simply but rather persuasively - money and power.Part inspirational manual for business, part guidebook to a successful and happy social life, Life's a Pitch is written as the result of an accumulated half century of (mostly successful) pitching by the authors. Ground-breaking and genre-busting, it will transform the way you think about the art of persuasion for ever. About the Author Nearly forty years ago, Terence Conran plucked Stephen Bayley from the obscurity of provincial academe to do his good works. One result was The Boilerhouse Project, promoting design in London's V&A, which became the most successful gallery of the eighties. Another result was the influential Design Museum. Stephen has since become one of the world's best known commentators on design and popular culture. Intelligence Made Visible, a book he wrote with Terence, has been translated into Estonian, Korean and Mandarin. Terence came to Stephen's wedding and complained about the food. Over the years, they have often fallen out, but always fall back in.Roger Mavity has been hired by Terence many times, and fired nearly as often. First at the French Gold Abbott ad agency where Roger won the Habitat advertising account; then at two more agencies including Mavity Gilmore, his own business. In 2006 he became Chief Executive of Conran Holdings, Terence’s business empire, where he stayed for seven years. When not doing battle with Terence, he has run his own ad agency for ten years, been Chief Executive of Granada Group’s technology and leisure divisions for another ten years, and then quit business to work as a writer and photographer.

Business & Money

Management & Leadership

Why is it so appalling to learn that the Duke and Duchess of Windsor employed a footman to hand-cut their lavatory paper? The entire history of art, architecture and design shows that there has been a great deal of disputing about taste. In fact, the only certain thing about taste is that it changes. But what is it? The Romans knew it without doubt; in the 18th century the virtuosi sat in their salons and pondered its meaning while a brittle Scarlatti keyboard piece entertained them. But in the 19th century, with the explosion of consumerism, all moral certainty disappeared and the notion of "good taste" was invented to normalize middle-class behaviour. In our own century taste has become a taboo since the judgements we make about dress, manners, food and art are painfully revealing of social and educational backgrounds which we would sometimes prefer remained obscure.
