Preparing for the "Speed Networking" Event May 20
Maximize Your Networking Skill With Your Own 30-Second Commercial!

The opportunity to network happens to most business owners all of the time! But many of us don't know how to maximize that opportunity when someone asks, "What business are you in?" Be ready to answer with your own personal 30-second commercial.

Since people form impressions of others within the first 20 to 30 seconds, it is crucial that you prepare your 30-second commercial so that it will be effective for you and your business. The attached worksheet will help you plan your 30-second commercial. Read it aloud and time yourself. Practice your 30-second commercial until you can say it without referring to your worksheet. Your talk will gain power if you stand. Practice on two or three people, making solid eye contact as you speak.

Five Easy Steps to the Perfect 30-Second Commercial
Your 30-second commercial should include the following:
1.Your name and business name.
2.Your business location.
3.The type of business you are in.
4.The cost of products or services.
5.The type of people or businesses that are good prospects for you. Include places, people, key phrases and situations that produce leads, such as: Businesses moving to a new location; unhappy with present service; unaware of information available; interest in travel, self improvement, etc.
