Summary

A manifesto of business practices for those who sell ideas and advice, The Win Without Pitching Manifesto lays out 12 steps - in the form of proclamations - that owners of creative businesses can take to distance themselves from their competition, regain the high ground in their client relationships and learn to win business without first parting with their thinking or writing lengthy proposals. The 12 proclamations were written to inspire owners of independent creative businesses (e.g.: design firms and advertising agencies) to rethink how their services are bought and sold. Anyone who sells ideas or advice will find relevance in these teachings.

Painfully but delightfully honest.

As a young entrepreneur, this book helped put into context some of tools I've always had in my arsenal to help grow my business but that I rarely used because of the fear of rejection. I proclaim that from here onwards I will begin to implement these proclamations day by day and make use of the power that comes with the confidence in my expertise and my ability to provide value to all my clients.

strong & concise 👌

Very strong reasoning and logic behind the approach described in this book.

I have found using the analogies and mental models discribed in this manifesto, can really help in convincing colleagues and team members, to adopt a premium service approach to creative services.

Brave but logical

This book was recommended by my employer and I can understand why. Some brave ideas but they actually make sense. Creative agencies have long been bad at making money and rely too much on trying to sell a big idea or giving away expertise.
Would be great to have some more practical examples and guidance bit overall its a good book.
