CNBN-Power-Intro-10

Have you ever attended a networking event, mixer, or meetup, and you’ve been stuck with what to say or how to say it with impact? You see others who deliver a very professional and polished elevator speech. At Connect Now, each business owner gets an opportunity to deliver a 30 second pitch, and we call it our Connect Now Power Intro.

It’s a speed round, and when strategically composed, you can make your 30 seconds very effective, and most importantly, you’ll get better response. Here are some tips:

Be Clear & Concise

I’ve seen some people deliver more compelling information in 30 seconds, than others who go on and on for 3 minutes, and monopolize everyone’s time. We’ve all seen that one. So, save yourself time, attract more people to your business, and get more results with a well-crafted intro. You’ll actually get more results saying less and being precise. Less is more.

One Thing

Stick to one thing in your presentation; do not mention two businesses or your message won’t stand out and your delivery will not be memorable. It’s not about telling everything about your business, it’s about compelling people to connect with you further and developing long-term business relationships. Deliver one distinctive and unique thing, with power and confidence. It’s the only way to differentiate yourself.

Call to action

Tell people what to do next with a strong call to action. For example, how to contact you, where to connect with you online, when to meet for a follow-up coffee, or how to download a complimentary copy of your book. Be creative. Put up a landing page just for this purpose. Survey your audience to see what they need, what’s their pain, and what kind of gift they may want from you to make their life and business better.
