Description

My next book, Sales Pitch, is finally out! I’ve been working on this project for quite some time now and am beyond excited to share it with you all! 
If you’d like to support me and purchase the book, visit https://www.aprildunford.com/books to learn more. I’ve also included a free workbook on that page as well.
Since my book came out this week, I figured today’s episode should be about why I wrote this book. I certainly didn’t start my career thinking I would end up helping so many businesses with their sales pitch, but here we are.
In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

My exact sales pitch structure
How I adjusted my structure after my time at IBM
What it means to start with a market insight
Why you never talk about features in the first sales call 
And so much more

Thank you again for supporting this podcast, my two books, and the other content I put out.
