How to present your company on ONE minute.
So, you have one minute to make an impact at a networking meeting. What do you do ?
Plan. There is no use in being asked to speak and making it up as you go. Make an introduction for yourself, so you are ready. Lets face it Every networking meeting someone will ask what do you do?
How to start.Introduce your self and your company. “Hello, I’m fred Bloggs from Widgets and co.”
Pick a middle: Take one from the following
- Pick a product or service - say why it is good.
- Pick a customers problem, Tell a story - say how you helped.
- Describe a job you have been doing this week.
- Describe what a good referral would be for you. Be Specific.
How to Make it Better:Bring a Prop. “Look we are the only company in the world that make Green rubber Widgets”. If you dont know what to bring, ask the other members at the meeting.
How to close: Ask the members to do something.
- Ask them to Listen for a phase ”Oh no my Widgets got stuck in the door!”
- Ask them to Contact someone, ” I need to talk to the manager of Wibbery Widgets, Can anyone make ain introduction ?”
How to End: Repeat your Introduction. “Fred Bloggs from Widgets and co.”
How to make it memorable. Use a memory Hook. http://www.memoryhooks.com , http://www.j25bni.co.uk/blog/archives/324 or ask the other members.
If it wobbles, wedgit with a widget!!
Yes its that easy!
A couple of things not to do
Don’t pick more than a couple of products or services to describe. They just won’t remember more than the first couple anyway.
Don’t write it verbatim, write bullet points as reminders. If you read it you will be looking down. Try to look at your audience.
