A pitchman is a person who promotes or sells a product or service. The term can be broken down into five distinct roles: a touter, a tosser, a SELLER, a swayer, and a spieler. A touter is someone who advertises or promotes a product or service. A tosser is someone who throws promotional items to potential customers. A SELLER is someone who sells a product or service. A swayer is someone who persuades potential customers to buy a product or service. Finally, a spieler is someone who delivers a persuasive speech about a product or service. All of these roles are combined to create the job of a pitchman.
