Pitch Drunk
In my free-lance and consulting life, I get to hear and deliver more sales and marketing pitches in a year than most people see in a lifetime. I'm also enough of an "In The Weeds" nerd to never, ever consider the following game. Nope, not ever.
| Also Fun! |
Take a shot if you:
> Are told that The Solution Is (Truly, Truly) Disruptive
> Hear how, despite not being that kind of thing at all, the solution uses AI (bonus if it's also ML, AR, VR or COD)
> Watch the shared screen function fail in the hands of someone who doesn't use this application often (and couldn't be bothered to test it before the call)
> Go through a round of Who's Not Muted with background sirens, dogs, airport, children or cockfighting
> Get a non-working audio number for dial in (from someone who, again, couldn't be bothered to test it before the call)
> Experience Platform Fail when the presenter goes away from a prepared deck and Does It Live (NSFW)
> Are told that The Solution has no real and direct competitors (and that the ones you might name in response to this aren't really competitors, nope, no sir)
> Enjoy awkwardly long silences from participants that are not aware that they are speaking while on mute
> See something that a participant (probably?) didn't want seen from inadvertent use of video cameras
> Have that wonderfully self-aware moment when the call is suddenly announced as Being Recorded
Feel free to add yours in the comments! The holiday season is coming up, and that's no time to be sober.
