How come you can pick two or three exec’s who are brilliant individual presenters but put them together to make a pitch presentation and you often don’t even get the sum of the parts? The reason, they haven’t read The Pitching Bible by Paul Boross. Boross is the boss when it comes to learning the know-how of successful, effective and memorable pitching.

I enjoyed the book very much and I think it is a top to bottom checklist and practice guide for an essential part of television that is too often overlooked. Too often producers agonize about the development of an idea and fantasize about the production, But without an effective pitch they are whistling in the dark.

Very nicely thought through and researched. I haven’t quite finished it yet(stuff came up) but will do so in the next day, sitting in the sun. That’s how good it is, good enough to be a beach read.

I've worked in the media and advertising industry for 30 years, and The Pitching Bible by Paul Boross is the best book on pitching I've ever read. In fact, it's a breath of fresh air for an industry that is having to work harder and harder to get the message across when the answer, in my mind, is in simplicity and impact.

Reading The Pitching Bible is like reading all of the best tips that I've learned the hard way, collected into one easy, enjoyable, insightful read. It wouldn't be fair to call Paul's book common sense; it is uncommon sense – the stuff you know that you ought to know, the stuff that really makes a difference to you winning the business. Not only is this book easy to read, it's easy to use too. With great examples, clear and practical exercises and beautifully simple checklists, it's a book that you can read from cover to cover and then dip back in to before an important pitch – and if a pitch is worth doing, it's important enough to do it right, with the help of The Pitching Bible.

I'll be recommending The Pitching Bible to all of my friends and colleagues, but not to my competitors, obviously. It really does contain the seven secrets to your competitive advantage.

The Pitching Bible is an enjoyable and thought-provoking book that is written with clarity, insight and humour. It takes you on an illuminating journey through the seven secrets of a successful business pitch. Paul Boross explains that he learned the hard way about what does and does not work when pitching. As a consequence he has used his vast and varied experience and knowledge to create a book that is overflowing with practical ideas and techniques for preparing and delivering a winning pitch.

With subtlety and skill the book challenges the assumptions that the reader brings to it. To support this process Paul regularly offers questioning, reflection and information points for the reader.  You are encouraged to work your way through each ‘secret’ and reflect upon your thinking and practice in key areas of pitching. For example, when do you think a pitch actually begins? Who is vital in the process of making you win a pitch, is it you or is it your audience? How is it possible to always remain in control of your pitch? What type of language makes you more persuasive when pitching? Paul Boross offers solutions to every question that he raises. What I like about his solutions is that they are based on real-world experience and have real-world application.

This is an impressive book that actively engages you as a reader. When you finish reading The Pitching Bible you will notice that there is an eighth ‘secret’…buying a copy of this book will give you a competitive edge when pitching and will help you win more business. I recommend that you buy one.

Paul Boross' latest book –The Pitching Bible – is simply the best book on business pitching and communication that I have ever read - it deserves to sell a million copies, and I imagine that's why they call him The Pitch Doctor.

The Pitching Bible is a refreshingly written book on the basics of NLP and how to you them.

Have now read your book - brilliant "A skillful mix of psychology, art, method and sheer experience to help win any pitch.

I have been pitching ideas, creative solutions and concepts for most of my pitching life. The Pitching Bible has highlighted what I am doing right and where I may have gone wrong. It reads like a novel, rather than a text book, with balance, anecdotes and descriptive examples. It is both amusing and informative without being condescending.

For any professional performer, to be 'pitch perfect' is difficult, yet this Bible will go a long way to give you perfect pitch, every time.

Paul Boross has worn many media hats during the ten years I've known and worked with him, from Musician to TV Producer, all of them carried off with much charm and lots of charisma. His most recent role as advisor and the man with the "media knowledge" is proving hugely successful. His book The Pitching Bible results from two decades of insider knowledge on how broadcasting and the commissioning process works. If you want to break through as a producer read Paul's book and the secrets of getting that commission will be revealed. As you'll find there's much more to it than just presentation and personality.

The Pitching Bible is the recipe for any successful business pitch
