Event description

It's that time again - learn to introduce yourself in a way that starts a conversation, and kill your boring intro!

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!

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!

IF YOU CAN NOT DELIVER YOUR ELEVATOR SPEACH WITH CONFIDENCE, DON'T WALK BUT RUN AND SIGN UP FOR THIS EVENT. I spent a couple of hours with Rebecca the 1st time she offered this opportunity. When I started the event I had a vauge speech and was unsure of myself. I never knew what would come out of my mouth when telling a stranger what I do. That doesn't inspire confidence. I now know what to say and how to say it.

If you miss this event and do not have your elevator speech down cold, you will go home and cry to your momma.

While I believe humility is admirable, awkward under-selling is not. :)

I'm looking forward to this workshop, and learning how to deliver my message more confidently and effectively!

Thank you, Rebecca!

Rebecca - did not sign up but attended anyway (mostly due my own screw up), then rushed off to the event I was supposed to be at. All I can say is I had fun at your event. You have great enthusiasm and bring a lot into the room. Bottom line - glad I attended. ~David/dberkeyGroup
