Each of us pitches ideas every day. Regardless of what idea we are selling – or who we are selling it to – it all boils down to the act of stirring someone to join you, to agree to follow you. Yet we consistently under-estimate how critical it is to recognise the role of the decision maker. Decisions are, after all, made by people; and people have needs and agendas, spoken and unspoken. Understanding these needs and agendas are critical to success in business. Kevin Allen’s approach is not about persuading, but about creating a connection that assures a mutual win.
