Learn From The Mistakes Of Others … Practice Your Pitch!

Mariah Carey performed at Times Square on New Year’s eve. She had some sound problems during her performance. Maybe she did not check the sound equipment before she started.

At a Tokyo baseball game she threw out a first pitch. Watch the video below. My guess is that she did not practice any pitches before the game. I didn’t expect a fast ball or a slider, but I expected something a little bit better than what she delivered. Apparently, she is not learning from her mistakes.

I know that some field service inspectors don’t practice their telephone pitch. They call a field services firm looking for work and they don’t know what to say or ask. They act disorganized and they won’t get a job. Practice your pitch many times before you get on the telephone. Learn from the mistakes of Mariah Carey.
