    This is similar to advice in "how to win friends and influence people". He even gives an example of someone wanting something from someone but rather than ask directly he suggests making small talk, complimenting the person on something that matters to them, so that then next time you have better rapport.

      @Corpsefoot Gaming It is important to use the right tools for the job and the right words for the proper expression. Otherwise you engage in brain reading and the chance of mistakes increases.

    You pitch based on the listener's perspective not yours. What do they want to hear? What do they need to hear? What do you want them to hear? After you take care of their needs, then sell them what you want to sell them. But if you don't take care of them on the outset of the conversation, they won't listen. Need to take care of that issue first. Have someone try that on you and see how you feel.

    to me this sounds counter-intuitive. first off, I'd feel like the other person would think I was 'stalking' them. I mean, what are the chances I'd 'happen' to bump-into them three times?
    Secondly, it comes off as insincere... I mean, who's not going to think that the only reason you approached them the first and second times, was solely to set the stage for the third time when, WHAM, you try to make your pitch?
    I think the best approach is to figure out how to contact them via email. Then they (or a support person) can read the message at a convenient time, and without any time pressures. You give them the jist of your pitch, and then they can decide if they want to reply back because they are intrigued and want more details.

      True story: I work in animation. Back in 2007 I went to the Television Animation Conference to pitch ideas. It was an event for executives, which I am not, I'm just an animator. I knew, from the delegate booklet they give us, that the head of development at the Cartoon Network would be there. It even had a photo of her, so I knew what she looked like. I made a plan to 'accidentally' bump into her over the weekend event whenever I could, and amuse her with a funny story, and then ask her if she would hear my pitches. And so I did. I bumped into her in the hallway, i bumped into her on the boat cruise, i bumped into her in the lobby, i bumped into her on the bus, and each time I told her a funny story that made her laugh. On the last day of the weekend event, there was a picnic. I was sitting by myself at a table, she was with a group of tv execs about 50 yards away. She noticed me, and left her group to come talk to me. She said I was very funny, and that I should come to the Cartoon Network to pitch to her. She asked me to come pitch! I didn't even have to ask her. So my plan worked even better than I... planned. Was it stalking? No, because stalking requires the other person to feel uncomfortable and/or fearful. I made her laugh. Stalking also is an effort to maintain power or control. I wasn't after power or control, I just wanted to pitch to her. My 'bumping' in to her was definitely not accidental, it was planned, it was deliberate... it wasn't stalking in the legal/criminal sense, but it was stalking in the dictionary sense: to pursue or approach. The point is, it worked.
