12 Powerful Ways to Introduce Yourself in 30 Seconds at Your Next Networking Meeting
The world is online and loving the opportunities right now! I know I am. I’ve taken full advantage of all kinds of online networking groups during COVID, met all kinds of amazing people, and have grown my business as a result.
And, there’s a lot to learn in this big, badass world of effective business building and relationship making, isn’t there? Like introducing yourself in a a few seconds in a powerful enough way to pique people’s interest enough to want to know you better.

What an incredible learning experience it’s been to get everything about what I do into a 30-second elevator pitch that’s powerful enough to wake up the members who’ve heard it a hundred times already, and still deliver information about who I am and what I do in an effective way.
