How can you learn to write better, more effective email from a capital investment banker? Pitch Anything by Oren Klaff is more than a big business book for MBA’s.
What I Learned from the Book:
I first learned about Oren Klaff when he was a guest presenter on a weekly WordPress training webinar with Troy Dean. In the 90 minute presentation, Oren gave a huge amount of information and insights about the subconscious decision-making process and how to frame questions, answers, and ideas to appeal to clients, even through simple email messages.
I picked up his book shortly afterward and read it through twice. I had expected a lot of philosophical and technical jargon, but instead, found the book to be written in a very casual and personal style. Oren uses a lot of real-life stories to explain and demonstrate each of the parts of the STRONG method, not just as it occurs in business meetings, but in everyday life.
This book has opened my eyes to a new and more effective way to communicate, both in written and spoken word. With framing, I write more compelling emails, blog articles, and proposals. In client meetings, I’m able to maintain control of the agenda and move things confidently forward. I’ve helped other clients compose stronger web page headlines and persuasive email campaigns. I’ve even found the techniques useful in dealing with my 2-year-old son at bedtime!
