Pitch Anything by Oren Klaff

Pitch Anything

by Oren Klaff

star4.4

Klaff argues that every pitch must first survive the listener's primitive crocodile brain before it can ever reach their analytical neocortex, which is why logical facts usually fail. He introduces the STRONG method for framing, status, and intrigue so that pitches pass the survival filter and trigger emotional engagement before reason.
