You are trained to pitch.
It’s costing you clients.

You walk in prepared. You know your product. And still, the client you want most chooses someone else.

When you lead with product, your prospective client nods politely, and never calls back.

Somewhere in that conversation, you lost them, and you may never know exactly where.

Here is the transcript from my call this morning. Draft my follow-up email.

The response:

Here is a draft. Notice it opens with what they told you they want, rather than with what you are selling.

“Great to visit... Appreciate you sharing where you’re headed. You shared how you want the freedom to stop trading your time for income. Two ideas worth exploring before we chat again…”

Portrait of Dean Harder, author of Stop Pitching

Dean continues to walk where you walk.

Dean grew up on a Minnesota family farm, watching salesmen show up trying to pitch his dad on the next big thing. Dean watched his dad masterfully turn every pitch into an honest conversation. Fifty years later, that’s still how Dean does business. It’s not a sales tactic. It’s how he was raised.
