    Flip the Script: A Masterclass on Pitching Anything With Oren Klaff

    You think you know how to sell until you hear Oren Klaff talk about it. Today, we’re hosting the man behind Pitch Anything and Flip the Script to uncover why most marketers lose deals before they even start. Oren doesn’t just challenge conventional sales wisdom. He flips it upside down, showing how neediness kills deals. Oren Klaff is a leading expert in sales, raising capital, and negotiation. As Director of Capital Markets for Intersection Capital, he has helped companies secure billions of dollars in funding. He’s a best-selling author, a sought-after speaker for global giants like Google and Xerox, and a pioneer in neuroscience-based persuasion.
