Jeff Bitton: Get a Referral in 59 Seconds (or less)

By Jennie Bellinger | August 15, 2024 |

About Jeff Bitton:

Jeff is the CEO of Pitch59 Inc., based in Provo, Utah. Having been a small business owner, Jeff knows how expensive, frustrating, and discouraging it can be when trying to grow a business. With 82% of small business owners relying on referrals as their primary source of growth, it’s disheartening that, on average, only 4 out of 100 satisfied customers actually refer the companies they like.

Jeff understands that the reason more happy customers don’t refer businesses is because the traditional process of giving referrals is just too hard and time-consuming. It places the burden and risk of explaining who you are and what you do onto your friends and customers. That’s why, at Pitch59, Jeff believes that no one is better than “you” to pitch your product or service to potential customers.

With PitchCards, business owners can deliver their 59-second elevator pitch—either written or through video—so that others can get to know, like, and trust them. PitchCards also make it incredibly easy to network and get referrals in just a few seconds, revolutionizing the way businesses connect and grow.
