    NETWORKING - Come Elevate Yourself


    THE 30 SECOND ELEVATOR PITCH

    The goal is to pique interest and get members to want to learn more, not give them a complete overview of everything you do. 


    If you don't have your own business, focus on how could GAWN members help you. Would you like to: have coffee with others in _____; establish a mentor/mentee relationship with someone in _____; get support for a ____ transition; etc.

    OUTLINE

    Who you are.

    What you do / your business.

    What's unique.

    What' your ask / call-to-action.

    Optional: slogan / tagline / something memorable

    TIPS

    SHORT! 30 seconds / target 75 words.

    Interesting. (yours is one of 50+ pitches)

    Personalized for GAWN members.

    Be confident & positive.

    PREPARATION

    Practice & refine & practice...

    Time yourself. (we will cut you off at 30 sec.)

    Speak slowly, enunciate clearly.

    Vary your tone. Smile!

    REMEMBER - Keep It Simple and Concise, you only have 30 seconds!
