One of the areas people struggle with when networking is how best to answer the inevitable question "what do you do?"
Most business networking meetings involve members introducing themselves to the rest of the people in the room by way of an "elevator pitch". This mini-course will show you the common mistakes people make with their elevaotor pitch and how you can easily create a pitch that articulates clearly what you do in 15 words or less!
In this mini-course will learn how to craft a compelling 60 second presentation that people will remember for a long time.

People often tell me that local business networking meetings are just for people who want to win business from small local companies.
Many people, however, are winning significant contracts selling to large companies as a result of attending local networking meetings.

When I first got into business networking I felt very awkward and did not say much until someone came and spoke to me. I realised that this would limit the number of people I would meet so I decided that I would learn how to feel more confident about networking. I asked a few people how they first learnt and they recommended a book called ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People’ by Dale Carnegie. I hated the title but found it really helped in getting business networking conversations going.
When I meet new people and get to know a little bit more about their background and their experiences I am always amazed by who they know and the shared connections we have. Many people that are currently working in micro businesses have previously worked in very large companies at a very senior level.
