Publisher's Summary

Business consultant and former MGM director of creative affairs Stephanie Palmer reveals the techniques used by Hollywood's top writers, producers, and directors to get financing for their projects and explains how you can apply these techniques to be more successful in your own high-stakes meetings.

As Palmer has found, the strategies used to sell yourself and your ideas in Hollywood not only work in other businesses, they often work better.

Whether you are a manager or executive with an innovative proposal, a professional with a hot concept, a salesperson selling to a potential client or investor, or an entrepreneur with a business plan, Good in a Room shows you how to:

  • Master the five stages of the face-to-face meeting
  • Avoid the secret deal breakers of the first 90 seconds
  • Be confident in high-pressure situations
  • Present yourself better and more effectively than you ever have before

    Whether you want to ask for a raise, grow your client list, launch a new business, or find financing for a creative project, you must not only present your ideas in a compelling way - you must also sell yourself. Good in a Room shows you how to construct a winning presentation and deliver the kind of performance that will get your project greenlighted, whatever industry you're in.

    Great, practical advice from and experienced pro.

    ‘Good in a Room’ has an abundance of thoughtful words of wisdom: many of which are instinctual, but it’s alway nice to have a reminder and to have it stated by someone else so it becomes conscious knowledge rather than unconscious. Plus it has some hidden gems that will forever enhance how good you are in a room. Thanks Stephanie. I pitch tomorrow and I’m so much more ready than if I hadn’t read your book. Cheers...RM
