Howard shares an essential framework to ensure your business moves forward in this rapidly changing and competitive economy. He talks about the three guiding elements - strategy, execution and people - to finding success in your business and how if you’re not paying attention to these then you’re probably “leaving significant money on the table”. Howards tells Matt and Dan the story of a US$10 million company with a negative US$200,000 in cash flow on the verge of bankruptcy, whose leaders were unaware of how bad the situation really was, which he turned into a US$12.6 million company with a positive US$2 million in cash flow in 6 months using his three guiding elements.

Andrew Winig is an elevator pitch coach. As an entrepreneur and business owner, he discovered that business networking success starts with an engaging 30-Second Elevator Pitch. His 10-year journey from cold call salesman to Trusted Advisor inspired him to write the “Elevator Pitch Handbook: The Step-by-Step Guide to Starting Conversations.”
Andy shares how he stumbled upon the idea for his business while attending conferences and listening to others present their mechanical elevator pitches and realising that there was a much better way to do it. And so, he began his journey helping others improve their elevator pitches to create a better first impression, network more effectively, and get more leads for their businesses. Andy shares how he does this using improvisational acting techniques (yes, the Drew Carrey type!) and how he gets to the heart of each individual’s unique selling proposition with a simple question.
