Say who you are.
Your name and what you do, in one plain line. Simple enough that a stranger could repeat it for you.
“I’m your name. I do this for these people.”
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.
Your name and what you do, in one plain line. Simple enough that a stranger could repeat it for you.
“I’m your name. I do this for these people.”
The person or the problem you want this room to find for you. Name it out loud. That is how the room helps you.
“I’m hoping to meet the person you need.”
One line, one number, one small story. Not everything you do. Just the one thing that makes you stick.
“If you remember one thing about me: the one thing.”
“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.”
While you talk, your card is on the room screen. The room sees you and can act on it.
Be interested, not interesting. Say it like you would across a desk.
