Is it Time to Update Your Elevator Pitch?

So many people want to clarify their message, but instead obsess over small tweaks or can't think of any other way to describe their work.

Sound familiar?

That because your 30-Second Elevator Pitch is good for one very specific - and very rare - situation.

All the other times - not only won't it work, it's actually quite awkward. Let's face it - there's no un-awkward way to respond to a casual question with a prepared speech.

Which is why your 30-Second Elevator Pitch never feels quite right.

What's the alternative?

To create your own custom, personalized answers six most common networking questions.

Networking Questions

Questions like "What do you do" or "Who's a good introduction for you."

We know those questions are coming, yet so many people start to formulate their answer once the question is asked.

If you're looking to grow your business and advance your career, you want answers engage people, teach them to prospect for you, and inspire them to help you 


Next Live Session

Sign up now and you get immediate access to our downloads, worksheets, and recordings from our last program, plus exclusive access to special events and group coaching sessions.

How to Prepare for Networking

So, why aren't people prepared?

Mostly it's because when they sit down to think about it, there are so many ways to answer the question and none feel like it's authentically them and so they stop planning and decide to wing it.

Again - big mistake.

There are people at networking events who can introduce you to the opportunities to grow your business.

And if you're winging it, you'll miss out on 100% of those conversations.

Which is why I've made a list of the only questions you need to be able to answer in any networking situation.

The best part - they fit on one page.

So once you've filled out this page, you're ready to start the conversations that will grow your business.

Intro Kit Advantage

In the month of February I'm leading this group coaching program to make sure you are fully prepared to get the best results from your networking.

Better networking usually doesn't involve joining new groups, or attending more events, or following up with people you haven't talked to in years.

Instead it's all about how you talk about what you do.

I'll lay the foundation for the purpose of the Elevator Pitch in all its forms.

With that purpose in mind, we'll craft the key elements of your own personalized Intro Kit.

I'll do some group coaching on how you answer "What do you do"

You'll join small discussion groups to discuss the "out-of-the-blue" questions that usually trip people up.

We'll hone our calls to action so we'll get better referrals.

And you get to ask me all your questions as you use these techniques as you network throughout February.

We meet Thursdays Noon Eastern for one hour.

The content will be recorded, but the real value is in being there to interact with other people and apply the new skills as you go about your work with your network.
