Okay, so why must the word PITCH send shivers down our spine? One word.
Rejection.
One ugly, simple word.
So how do you vanish that nervous pang from your gut?

Below are some links to help guide you through pitching. I know, I know, my cps call me the Queen of Links. What can I say? There's a lot of great info out there. I have to share what I find useful. :)
