ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE POP-UP PITCH:

— Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of WHEN, DRIVE, and TO SELL IS HUMAN

“Only read this book if you want to absolutely kill it in your next high-stakes pitch. If you are ok with it just being ok, if you don’t mind being ignored, and if losing the deal because you were misunderstood is acceptable, then don’t bother with this marvelous gem of a book. ”

— Greg McKeown, author of the New York Times bestsellers EFFORTLESS and ESSENTIALISM

“Psychological research demonstrates that sketching is one of the best ways to clarify our own ideas and communicate them to others. In THE POP-UP PITCH, Dan Roam explains how we can use this powerful tool to create a compelling presentation in just a couple of hours—even those of us who ‘can’t draw.’ This is a profoundly imaginative and enjoyable book.”

— Annie Murphy Paul, author of THE EXTENDED MIND

— Sanyin Siang, Thinkers50 Most Influential Coach and Author of THE LAUNCH BOOK

“Storytelling, humanity’s oldest communications technology, is about to get disrupted. This book contains the new code you need. Read it and change how you present, forever. ”

— Charlene Li, New York Times bestselling author of THE DISRUPTION MINDSET

“Make no mistake: Humans are story-driven creatures. Dan’s book brilliantly uses visual-thinking to democratize narrative and meaning so we can all go after what we want.”

— Sunni Brown, Doodler-in-Residence at MURAL and author of THE DOODLE REVOLUTION
