16. Already, companies that speak the language of the pitch,

the dog-and-pony show, are no longer speaking to anyone.

False

This is also false, if they weren’t speaking to anyone then why would they exist 10 years later.

This one is short and simple to back up.

1. Car companies – that is all they do, pitch, pitch pitch,

2. Discovery Channel’s hit show Pitchmen with the late Billy Mays is so popular that Billy Mays III is going to be continuing SSN 2 this Fall.

If the language of the Pitch destroyed a business, why would two people be offered a TV show where their whole business was doing just that?

3. Ad Agencies – All they do is pitch to clients, and then pitch to the world. We still have ads don’t we?

Companies pitch every day and some might hide it better than others but it happens. A leading drug company pitches their latest drug to a doctor, then your doctor will pitch it to you. If it works, you might pitch it to your friends with similar problems. The pitch, and companies who pitch will never die and people still listen. The only difference is people know what a pitch is and use the Internet to get their own information about what has been pitched to them.
