Compel the audience to take action from "summary" of Pitch Anything: An Innovative Method for Presenting, Persuading, and Winning the Deal by Oren Klaff
To compel the audience to take action, you need to understand the dynamics at play in any interaction. People are naturally resistant to change or being told what to do, so you have to approach the situation carefully. Start by creating a sense of urgency or scarcity to grab their attention and make them feel the need to act now. By introducing a time constraint or limited availability, you can motivate them to make a decision quickly.
Next, you need to establish your credibility and authority to show that you are a trustworthy source of information. People are more likely to take action when they believe in the person presenting the idea. You can do this by sharing relevant experience or success stories that demonstrate your expertise in the subject matter.
When presenting your pitch, focus on the benefits and outcomes rather than just the features. People are more interested in how something will improve their lives or solve their problems rather than the technical details. By framing your message in terms of what's in it for them, you can create a stronger emotional connection and increase the likelihood of them taking action.
Additionally, you should be mindful of the power dynamics in the interaction. Avoid coming across as too needy or desperate for their approval, as this can diminish your credibility and make them less likely to take action. Instead, maintain a sense of confidence and authority while still being respectful and open to their input.
Finally, end your pitch with a clear call to action that tells the audience exactly what you want them to do next. Whether it's signing a contract, making a purchase, or scheduling a follow-up meeting, be direct and specific in your ask. By giving them a clear path forward, you make it easier for them to take the next step and move towards a decision.
