How to sell a fascinating idea

By Sally Hogshead

Ever had a game-changing idea…

…but nobody saw the potential?

Did your idea ever actually come to life? Or did it just sit on the shelf, feeling sad and increasingly dusty?

Did your clients applaud it? Did your customers remember it?

Having a game-changing idea means nothing, if you can’t “sell” it.

It’s not enough to build the best product, if nobody buys it.

It’s not enough to be the best advisor, if nobody listens.

It’s easy to create ideas.

But selling ideas? That’s hard.

But you CAN stand out. You CAN be remembered for your game-changing ideas. Here’s how.

I collected my favorite strategies for presenting ideas, for you to apply and share.

I want you to be recognized, and rewarded, for what you’re already doing right.

Now go sell your biggest, baddest, bestest ideas!
