When the room comes to you

Take the floor.

The room will come to you. When it does, keep it to three lines. You are not selling. You are being clear. Twenty seconds and you are done.

1

Say who you are.

Your name and what you do, in one plain line. Simple enough that a stranger could repeat it for you.

Say it like“I’m your name. I do this for these people.”
2

Say who you want to meet.

The person or the problem you want this room to find for you. Name it out loud. That is how the room helps you.

Say it like“I’m hoping to meet the person you need.”
3

Give them one thing to remember.

One line, one number, one small story. Not everything you do. Just the one thing that makes you stick.

Say it like“If you remember one thing about me: the one thing.”
Sounds like

“I’m Dana. I do the books for Tucson trades. I’m hoping to meet contractors who are drowning in receipts. If you remember one thing: I make tax season boring, in the best way.”

Show them who you are

Put your face on the wall first.

While you talk, your card is on the room screen. The room sees you and can act on it.

Build my card

Be interested, not interesting. Say it like you would across a desk.
