As an online marketer there is an interest as to how Pitch Men at carnivals and fairs DO BUSINESS. Ever since I was a kid I would watch these guys make a ton of money. No matter what was being sold people felt that they needed to get it right there and then. Since I market to people online the same skills that pitch men use can help with my business. It was with sadness that I learned of Billy Mays passing this past weekend. His voice without fail came on during most commercial breaks. His tone and style made him a success pitching products on television. It’s amazing at how many commercials Billy Mays was involved with, and the different products that were promoted. The way he was able to build trust and urgency for the products made a very sought after television personality. The only one who can challenge Billy Mays at the moment is Vince the Sham Wow guy. The lesson to be learned form Billy Mays or other pitch men is that a passion for the product is the key to sales. Next time you see an as seen on TV type commercial pay attention and study the pitch.
