Crafting Your Message

When networking, what do you respond when a new contact asks you “What do you do for a living?” Your response is a great opportunity to make a lasting impression.
What you say must be short, non technical and deliver value. Craft your message in advance and state it with clarity.

To craft your message, answer two questions: Why do your current clients buy from you? Why do others refer clients to me? Use your answers to form the details of a very short story about your business value. Describe how you help your customers using a real example that highlights your capabilities, values and interests and spend less than two minutes speaking. READ MORE
