Pitching bloopers
Posted by: Rob Hook | 27.03.08
Hi I am compiling a list of pitching bloopers such as these below. If you can add to it please let me know. They will be published so hide the details in needed Cheeky! A colleague of mine had successfully completed the pitch and was being entertained by our Middle Eastern hosts in Dubai. Half way through the meal he passed wind thinking it was a local custom. The head of the Jordanian delegation remarked "You might be thinking that you are engaging in a local custom. You are not. That is the sole preserve of children and animals". Cheers! After a significant pitch to a Japanese delegation, the MD turned to the Chairman of the Japanese conglomerate and offered the following toast "To Pearl Harbour!" Tangled wires At a pitch by Pratt and Whitney, the first speaker tripped over the microphone cable, knocked over the lectern, cut his hand on a shard of glass and tore his jacket on the upturned lectern. When his partner walked on to the stage a witty little wag said very loudly "Ah! Mr. Whitney I presume?" Any more??
