<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A groundbreaking book that boldly claims the key to success is not talent, connections, or ideas, but the ability to persuade people to take a chance on your potential.</b> <p/>"The most exceptional people aren't just brilliant...they're backable." --Daniel Pink, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>When, Drive</i> and <i>To Sell is Human</i> <p/>No one makes it alone. But there's a reason some people can get investors or bosses to believe in them while others cannot. And that reason has little to do with experience, pedigree, or a polished business plan. Backable people seem to have a hidden quality that inspires others to take action. We often chalk <br>this up to natural talent or charisma...either you have "it" or you don't. <p/>After getting rejected by every investor he pitched, Suneel Gupta had a burning question: Could "it" be learned? <p/>Drawing lessons from hundreds of the world's biggest thinkers, Gupta discovered how to pitch new ideas in a way that has raised millions of dollars, influenced large-scale change inside massive corporations, and even convinced his eight-year-old daughter to clean her room. Inside <i>Backable</i> are long-held secrets from producers of Oscar-winning films, members of Congress, military leaders, culinary stars, venture capitalists, founders of unicorn-status startups, and executives at iconic companies like Lego, Method, and Pixar. <p/><i>Backable</i> reveals how the key to success is not charisma, connections, or even your résumé, but rather your ability to persuade others to <br>take a chance on you. This original book will show you how.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The most exceptional people aren't just brilliant...they're backable.
