About this listen

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.

I loved the content. I actually was less enthusiastic by the authors reading style. I felt at times he appear a bit self-righteous. Overall, the information is applicable to anyone wanting to improve their communication skills. I'll probably re-read this book as I think it requires more than one pass to internalize the information. This may actually be a better book read in text than listened to.

Any additional comments?

Yes...the guy is a total lefty/liberal; typical journalist claiming to be "unbiased" but yet somehow 'conservative bad, liberal good' bleeds through to the reader/listener

This is a comprehensive and very well thought-out book about how to say things right the first time. It was very helpful and I will probably listen again. Toward the end, the variety of situations covered gets into some extreme situations that often don't apply. But more than anything else, I need to remember the 7 Principles, which are key and worth the price of admission. Highly recommended to anyone for those principles alone.

Comprehensive and Interesting

This book is both practical and entertaining. It has energized me to work harder at saying the right words, at the right time. I enjoyed the humor which proved to be a great antidote for what could have been another boring public speaking book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn to how to say the right thing. Particularly, authors, speakers and small business owners like me who need to guard our words while expressing ourselves effectively.

A wonderful experience of learning and enlightenment

Incredible listen!

This book was as profoundly intrinsic as a communications class in the MBA course at Harvard. I don't fully understand all the negative sour Skittle faced comments on here, it's clear if you have skin thinner than rice paper, you are going to have some significant communication issues. The one thing you can absolutely take away from this is to learn how to communicate with authentic confidence in virtually any scenario that life will inevitably throw at you. As fledgling Strategy Writer and business owner, I found the material to be as extremely useful as having a one on one session with Tony Robbins, genuinely fantastic.

Outstanding Material
