In just 60 seconds, he learned to build trust, spark interest, and form a connection. Not with a slick sales pitch, but by being human. ![image 298](https://blog.pitch59.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image%20298.jpg?width=239&height=239&name=image%20298.jpg) Later, as a small business owner for over 13 years, Jeff faced the same challenge so many entrepreneurs still do today: getting noticed online without losing your soul in the process.   He tried all the traditional routes like Google, Yelp, and Angi. But on those platforms, personality doesn’t matter. The best spot goes to the business with the biggest budget or the one that knows how to game the system. Everyone else is just another listing in a long list of names, reviews, and stars, many of which aren’t even real.   It didn’t sit right with him.   Jeff knew that if someone could meet him, not in person but really meet him, they’d understand his passion, his values, and what made his service worth choosing. And if that were true for him, it had to be true for others too.   So he decided to build something different. ![Banner Imgs (3)](https://blog.pitch59.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Banner%20Imgs%20(3).png?width=1600&height=300&name=Banner%20Imgs%20(3).png) ### **Why We Built Pitch59: The Platform That Puts People First** The story of Pitch59 begins with Jeff Bitton and his years of experience going door to door, introducing himself to complete strangers. In just 60 seconds, he learned to build trust, spark interest, and form a connection. Not with a slick sales pitch, but by being human.   Later, as a small business owner for over 13 years, Jeff faced the same challenge so many entrepreneurs still do today: getting noticed online without losing your soul in the process.   He tried all the traditional routes like Google, Yelp, and Angi.

They buy from people. And the faster someone can know, like, and trust you, the faster they’ll choose to work with you.   That’s why we created the PitchCard, a 59-second video pitch paired with everything someone needs to learn about you or your business. Each PitchCard includes: - Your video introduction - Testimonials from real customers - Contact details and service info - Social links, pricing, hours, and more You can use it for sales, networking, referrals, growing your brand, or explaining your cause. And because it’s digital, you can share it anywhere — in emails, texts, QR codes, or on your social media. ![Banner Imgs (2)](https://blog.pitch59.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Banner%20Imgs%20(2).png?width=1600&height=300&name=Banner%20Imgs%20(2).png) --- ### **For the Underdogs, the Scrappy Starters, and the Real Ones**   Pitch59 was built for the rest of us.
