Getting your pitch perfect

Every week I ask people what they do for a living and they act as though I asked them the square root of Pi. Their faces turn white and they begin to fumble. Their heart is racing, their palms are sweaty and they begin to mumble something unintelligible. Here’s the problem. I’m a friendly guy. I want to know what they do. I am looking for clients, prospects, and partners all the time. I genuinely want to know about their work. This is intended to be a no challenge situation for them. The problem is that they can not effectively communicate what they do, how they do it, or why people hire them.

What is wrong with most 30-second pitches…



Get Pitch Perfect. Come to the workshop.

It doesn’t matter whether you call it a 30-second commercial, an elevator pitch, or your personal value statement. If you can’t communicate what you can do for people, you are losing opportunities.

You need a 30 second commercial that works if you are:

* Looking for prospects
* Looking for a job
* Seeking Investors
* Networking at Tech After Five, or a Chamber of Commerce Event
* Attempting to charm prospective employees

In this morning session you will get the form, structure, and get to practice your 30 second commercial in a way that gets you comfortable with the format and teaches you the power of a great pitch with strong questions to get the other person interested in your work, business, product, organization, or service.

Sign up today, all instruction, a workbook and a fabulous networking lunch are included.

October 29, 2009, 9am until 1pm.
