SPECIAL WORKSHOP:
"Creating a Knock-out Elevator Pitch"
Don't you wish this happened for you…
You stroll
into a networking function, someone asks you what you do, and
you give them an interesting answer that
prompts them to instantly hand you their business card and
ask you to tell you more, resulting in a great long-term business relationship.
It CAN happen. The
key is having an effective elevator pitch -
a simple 30-second
introduction
that includes who you are, and how you can provide a solution to a problem they
are dealing with, or a problem they know someone else is struggling with.
Voila, that's networking!
Don't be just John Doe at ABC Company.
Be extraordinary and stand out from your competition.
In my
special workshop "Creating a Knock-out Elevator Pitch", I'll teach you the
FOUR KEY INGREDIENTS to knock the socks off of people you meet. We'll work
through the process together and
you'll walk out with a
new Elevator Pitch
and ready to hit your next networking opportunity.

Testimonials from past workshop attendees:
"Barbara
gave us the means to develop a powerful and flexible 'knock-out' elevator pitch
for today and for tomorrow. Well worth my time and money."
- Dave Shira,
More Than a Mailbox
"This workshop helped me to
overcome
nervousness and to make my 30-second elevator pitch impressive
and condensed."
- Emiko Okabe,
Sakura Family Acupuncture
"Very nice workshop.
Good,
concise information. You are fun to listen to with lots of
great information. This was a good use of my time and I look forward to
using this information in all my networking opportunities."
-
"This
was a great training. I work for such a great cause, but
it's hard to talk effectively sometimes. You were a great speaker, very
warm and made me feel comfortable. I actually came planning not to give my
elevator pitch, but by the end I felt perfectly confident, so I did. I
really liked that you added humor or a personal anecdote to almost every point
you made."
-
"It was helpful to break down the key features of an effective 30-second
elevator pitch. I enjoyed brainstorming each point and developing a new
commercial to utilize during my networking opportunities.
The
workshop allowed me the time to really think about what I do and how I can help
people in a non-intimidating way."

Jennifer Sarah Alton,

"This workshop is amazing and you, Barbara, are an outstanding teacher.
I can only imagine the success I would have seen earlier in my business if only
this workshop had been available many years ago. Sadly, it wasn't or perhaps,
that is a good thing - because you have unleashed in me a voice and words that
were just begging to get out of my mouth.
Never again will my words get caught in
my throat because I "feel" that I sound ridiculous.
Barbara, you have uncovered a warrior here - and I will not sit
down quietly or walk out of a room any longer because of embarrassment, shyness
or sweaty palms.
Thank you
for helping me to find the words to tell the world 'who I am' and 'what I do',
without passing out cold."
- Julie Champion,
Arbonne International
"Thank you for sharing your brief, to-the-point techniques that focus on how to
create a statement about who I am and what I do in approximately 30-seconds.
Very informational! Very direct! Very specific!
And FUN!"
- Leslie Bravo! Massage Therapy, CMT
"This was an excellent workshop!
Even though I'm comfortable talking
to people, I was able to pick up some better points to delivering my elevator
pitch."
- David McKay,
McKay's Tax Service
"Great
workshop. I didn't think you could keep my attention for 2
hours on a simple topic; in fact, I think it was perfectly timed!"
-
"Very helpful. It allowed me to
create clear and concise details about my bank. The
feedback portion was excellent, it gave me a lot of ideas about I
can differentiate myself from my competition. The systems are great ways
to keep my introduction fresh and easy to update." -
Ryan Bettencourt,
IronStone Bank
"Enjoyed the specific step by step 'how-tos'."
-
Laurie Inks,
Heald College
"Well organized. Easy to build your
pitch. Barbara turns a dull 'pre-workshop' introduction in an
attention-getting introduction." -
"This class is really what I needed, thank you."
-
"Presenting my business and myself to a group of people in a short period of
time is an excellent opportunity to overcome any distracting fears and
self-doubts. My goal is for the
audience to "feel" my words, while capturing their attention.
Working with Barbara at her Elevator Pitch workshop helped me to capture the essence of my business and convey it into a powerful and gentle message. I consider this extremely vital to the success of future connections.
Thank you Barbara for an informative and fun morning!"
- Mariscela Alvarez, Free Your Spirit
I've been talking about my program for 18 years and my biggest problem is speaking too much! This workshop really helped me prepare a concise, focused presentation that gets the most important points up front. Thank you!
- Laura Segura,
National Teen Leadership Program
“Excellent, lots of good points covered,
lots of new fresh ideas. Ideas
were also exchanged around the room from the other participants.”
-
Judith Vella,
“It was very helpful to have the different elements of an effective pitch broken
down.
The workshop gave me the opportunity to focus on all the different
pieces and aspects of my business then learn how to pull them together into a
cohesive whole. Thanks,
Barbara!” –
Jeanette Munroe,
Folsom
Piano Academy
“Barbara has developed a valuable and
very usable formula to help clients create a memorable and dynamic elevator
pitch.” -
Vickie Rosalli,
State Farm Insurance
“Thank you for so many good ideas and
especially for helping me focus.
Your support really helped make it happen.”
-
Beth Mora,
Mora Small Business Center
“Breaking out each element really helps
keep the focus and brevity. Most
elevator pitches are long and rambling, but this formula approach avoids that.”
