Nicely said Andy. I also agree that elevator pitches don't work for one on one conversations. You don't want a conversation forced. I tell people to have them prepared for group settings when you are asked to tell everyone about yourself.
ReplyDeleteThat's fair comment Jason. One that works for one-off or first breakfast meetings.
ReplyDeleteIf people go to a more regular event, then you need to be more specific, focused and vary your presentation.
But that's a whole new blog!
