A good idea can only become great if you've got the skills to sell it. We asked Sam Harrison, a speaker and writer on creativity-related topics, for a how-to in this excerpt from his latest book IdeaSelling: Successfully Pitch Your Creative Ideas to Bosses, Clients and Other Decision Makers.
1. "If they feel they birthed it, they can't kill it." David Schimmel touts this tenet at And Partners, his New York design firm. "If you truly collaborate with your clients and let them take credit for ideas," says Schimmel, "there's a good chance you'll sell your strongest ideas without having them watered down."
2. Leave creative chaos at the door. The route for discovering an idea is usually a winding, twisted path. But the way we present that idea should be a straight and narrow road. That's not saying pitches should be dull and didactic. Be bold. Rouse the room. Playing it safe is for wimps.
