Webomatica: The Art Of The Pitch: Ron Popeil And Steve Jobs

  • Phil · 2 years ago
    Yep, if the iPhone was going to be sent out with a solid flavour injector, I'd have one.

    Nice comparison, do you think Steve Jobs does so well with the formula because he has altered it from crazy, zany infomercial with crowd chanting to a smooth speech with a simple but effective presentation but keeping all the other factors, or because he's selling an iPhone instead of the Showtime Rotisserie Oven?!

    Hi Phil - yeah I'd say it's both. Jobs has definitely smoothed over and honed the presentation so it hardly sounds like a sales pitch, and Apple definitely creates way, way, cooler products.

    If it wasn't for my hawking of my flavour injector, I don't think my girlfriend would be dating me.

    eng did you have a money back guarantee with that injector? Ah, you're probably past the 30 days.
