Event description

If I ask you 'what do you do' I want your answer to EXCITE and INTRIGUE me... make me want to ASK MORE!

I, or someone I know, could be your next customer - make sure your answer has me eager to work with you!

After our last workshop, Leslie Dalaba had this to say: "We were scattered, shy, awkward. Rebecca whipped us into shape with confidence, grace, skill, and humor. She turned a tough task into a playful challenge. If you can get to one of her workshops, do it."

Who should come to this event? Anyone who...

...gets a little stuck delivering an elevator speech.

...has an elevator speech that sounds stilted or memorized.

...just wants to practice and polish an elevator speech.

...hasn't even started on an elevator speech but knows they need to give a better voice to their small business.

First we'll introduce ourselves and our companies (bring your business cards).

Then we'll identify what catches someone's attention in an elevator speech and makes them want to hear more. Next we'll pair off in speed rounds to practice our speeches and get instant feedback. Finally we'll come back together and, time permitting, deliver our speeches again. Your time is precious and I won't waste it. We'll start right on time and make the most of every minute - come prepared to learn and share, and to network with other great small business owners!

Denise Eider also joined our last workshop and said: "Rebecca, you have a very confident and warm personality. I so appreciated your insight today on creating an Exciting Elevator Speech. It was so intimidating before. Great way to work through it...many, many thank you's."

    You're damn right this is going to be a great event!

    If you do not have an elevator speech, this is a must enroll in event. Without giving away what Rebecca will do with you, by the end of this event I guarentee your elevator speech will improve at least 100%. This simply is a must attend event.

    I have to be in clinical during your event so I will not be able to sharpen my pitch. Your business life may depend on attending this event. Do not make excuses like I did (of course I attended once so I know what I am missing). Sign up now, while there are still spaces. This event will sell out quickly and rightfully so.

    This looks like a fabulous event; I have a presentation to give in Tacoma at that exact time, otherwise, I'd be there in a heartbeat! I hope this is a recurring workshop... I'll look for a future opportunity to participate!
