The Pitch

The Pitch 09/19/2004 08:03 AM
I got a msg from the Bush campaign (I'm a member of GOP TeamLeader) touting an HBO movie, 9 Innings from Ground Zero. The msg links to a clip about Bush throwing out the first pitch. In it, W lets us know the pressure on him not to "bounce" it. I can see why the Republicans are circulating it. It's a good piece of tape, in a patriotic-cum-Riefenstahl sense. And, on the other hand, it's maybe the most absurd reduction of a serious issue I have ever seen. You want to see American political cynicism at its worst? This is...

Jim Grizanzio, OpenSolaris Community Manager: "I spent nine painful years pitching messages in PR. But I'm out now, and I have a different perspective. Why must everything be a pitch to deliver a message no one believes? And why pitch bloggers? Why perpetuate the bad PR that the PR industry so richly deserves? Why not simply read blogs to understand the issues and the communities trying to interact with a company. And why not simply blog right along with those communities and join the conversation? In other words, skip the pitch."

Jim is commenting on Fortune Magazine's recent article Why There's No Escaping The Blog.

Offshoring where do we go next and my
run in with a pitch man 07/07/2004 07:21 PM

I felt really sorry for the guy that called the office last week. I get the holler from across the hallway hey some guy wants to talk to you about offshoring wanna take it? Hmmmmmmm those of you that have been reading here for awhile know my stance on offshoring. (When Hell freezes over) So I take the guys call. The least he could have done is called me via a real land-line instead I get the common static buzz of a net based call. We talk for about 30 minutes while I pick the guys brain nothing really brain shattering came out of the discussion.

He ask to send me some info and I say sure, I would be happy to look at their promotion material. A week later what finally shows up in my inbox, his pitch material curious read to say the least. Call me traditional, "Made in the USA" and "Support Stays in the USA". If any of you would like a copy of what they sent me drop me a line, I'll forward it to you. Companies are now weighing the backlash of their customers before offshoring some say it makes up at least 50% of the decision level process. [ZDNet]

Near-Perfect Pitch (Forbes.com) 06/30/2004 12:35 PM
Forbes.com - Victor Grillo Jr. has been selling gadgets on television for 15 years, though you probably couldn't pick him out of a lineup. If you watch late-night TV you certainly know the products he's introduced, including the Ginsu 2000 knife (20 million units sold, says the 38-year-old Bostonian), the Buttoneer, Liquid Leather and Triple Edge Wiper Blades. He also claims to have unveiled the first national prepaid cell phones. Grillo has been content to stay behind the camera, buying and tracking media, producing TV commercials and organizing fulfillment operations. "Too fat," he says. ...

Sun's identity pitch

Sun's identity pitch 12/16/2003 12:30 PM
At SunNetwork 2003 back in September, Jonathan Schwartz made the case that the Java card is the most strategic piece of Sun's whole technology stack. Actually, I'd say per-employee pricing is the real strategic innovation. But I've always hoped to see movement on the identity card front, so this clip, in which Schwartz stresses something I've been harping on for years, got my attention:

Java card support will be built into the desktop that we offer. It is the fundamental way we will help people to understand that if there were a menu item in your mail app that said, 'Show only mail from people that have been strongly authenticated,' then spam would disappear. 'Show me only content that has been strongly authenticated,' viruses would disappear.

Are You Paying Attention To This Sales
Pitch? 09/17/2004 08:13 PM
A good presenter knows how to adjust their presentation when the audience's body language shows they're not so interested in what's being pitched. However, with more and more people doing presentations over the internet, it's tougher to read that "body language." Webex thinks they have a solution. They're adding a feature to alert a presenter if a viewer isn't paying attention. So, if the person viewing the presentation has switched to another app (email? solitaire?) the presenter will know they better spice up the presentation quickly. This could be a pretty useful feature, though some might not think so if they're caught snoozing. A smart sales presenter, of course, wouldn't reveal that he or she knows the prospect's attention had shifted, but not everyone is that smart. Update: A reporter at InfoWorld notes one of the problems with this approach. As Webex demonstrated the system for her, she swit ched to a word processor to take notes -- immediately alerting Webex that she wasn't paying attention.
