Itโ€™s good - definitely more practical for an AE & leadership to use. Calls are good but F2F is best

Did a lot of framing bad pitches for strikes behind the plate. Tricking umpires all summer.

I have a buddy who does framing for a living. Had him frame a wall in my garage a couple years ago.

haven't read it but seems like it is about controlling the narrative. Is that accurate?

I have read it I think some concepts are good but I think its probably to aggressive way of thinking for most industries outside of finance. He mainly talks about his experiences using it when helping to fundraise for start-ups from VCs etc. so there is always going to be big clashes of alphas and who has the biggest d*ck.

I think persuasion or be it frame control is still a key skill for sales but I think "in the real world" you have to be more tactful and less confrontational than how it comes off in the book
