OCTOBER PROGRAM
What Do You Do?
—Creating a Powerful Response to the Inevitable Question
Speaker: Sandra Abell, MS, ACC, LPC
When you meet someone and they ask the inevitable question, “What do you do?” what is your response? Do you answer with a label, such as “I’m a realtor” or “I’m a consultant”? Most often the reaction to this kind of statement will be “Oh, that’s nice”, and then silence.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could say something that piques their interest and brings a spark to their eyes? A few well-chosen sentences that will help them realize that “This is something that could help me, or may benefit someone I know?”
A well-worded 30-Second Commercial and a more detailed Elevator Speech will do just that. In this month’s program Sandy Abell will guide you as you create your own powerful response to the inevitable question.
