We know we need it, we’ve thought about it, and now we need to perfect it. THE ELEVATOR PITCH. How do you capture someone’s attention in just 30 seconds? This week, Rob and Sheryl sit down and discuss the art of crafting your elevator pitch. We’re always joined by guest Jeff McKissack, Founder and President of Defense by Design.
“You’ve got about 5 to 8 seconds to capture someone’s attention when you’re talking to them, no matter what the context… So, what do you say? You use a Hook! I would suggest to use a story because facts tell, but stories sell.” – Jeff McKissack

Networking can be scary. It takes some confidence to walk into a room of people, let alone talk to them! This week we’re discussing how we build our confidence with our guest Debbie Mrazek, President of The Sales Company. She is the expert at building confidence in not only herself, but in others too.
“The truth is, I’m an introvert. So, finding a place that was comfortable for me to demonstrate that confidence without being a peacock or know-it-all... just that gentle confidence when somebody says ‘she’s got it’… I could finally own it.” – Debbie Mrazek

We’re also joined by our guest, Russell Duckworth, business development professional and master of following up. He shares his secret to success in creating and maintaining relationships with new connections through follow up.
“You don’t really realize the importance of planting the seed, tending, weeding, feeding, and earning the right to harvest that piece of fruit until it’s there. But then after that happens a few times, you begin to see the value of spending that kind of follow up energy where it needs to be spent.” – Russell Duckworth

Everyone’s been there, that awkward moment when you’ve been ghosted. It’s unprofessional, but it’s inevitable. This week we discuss our thoughts on getting no response after one-on-one meetings with new professional peers, and what we can do after the fact. We bring in guest Grace Speese, President of the Farmers Branch Chamber of Commerce, to share her thoughts on receiving no response and how she handles it.
“Sometimes I’ve spent a year, or two years, of following up with people, and sometimes those turn out to be your best clients, your biggest sales… because busy, difficult to get a hold of people are going to respect your perseverance.” – Grace Speese

We’re also joined by George Mayfield, founder of Frameworks Consulting. We discussed tips on how to maintain focus in your business and workflow, as well as how to stay focused during networking events and stay on track of your goals.
“In business, you need to focus on the things that are going to bring you revenue. Keep those things documented and written out, and then whenever you’re seeing things in black and white, it’s a lot easier to say, ‘these things are going to bring me revenue, these things are going to bring me closer to my mission.’” – George Mayfield
