A groundbreaking book that boldly claims the key to success in business is not talent, connections, or ideas, but the ability to persuade people to take a chance on potential.<br/><br/>‘The most successful people aren’t just brilliant – they’re backable’ DAN PINK, bestselling author of Drive<br/><br/>‘Whether you want to get ahead inside a company or build a startup from the ground up, this fascinating book is a must-read.’ REID HOFFMAN, co-founder of LinkedIn<br/><br/>No one makes it alone. But there’s a reason why 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 this up to natural talent or charisma . . . either you have ‘it’ or you don’t.<br/><br/>After getting rejected by every investor he pitched, Suneel Gupta had a burning question: could ‘it’ be learned?<br/><br/>Drawing lessons from hundreds of the world’s biggest thinkers, Suneel 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 8-year-old daughter to clean her room.<br/><br/>Inside the book 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. Suneel used these invaluable lessons to become the New York Stock Exchange’s ‘New Face of Innovation’.<br/><br/>Backable reveals how the key to success is not charisma, connections, or even your CV, but rather your ability to persuade others to take a chance on you. This groundbreaking book will show you how. |
