Personal networking: What do you say when they ask, “What do you do?” 

Tell your prospects how they will succeed with your help 

Part II of the Storytelling for Business Boot Camp Series

PLEASE NOTE: This is a creative, full-participation boot camp, similar to writing or acting boot camps. You must be an active-business owner ready to share your experience and receptive to the experiences of other participants. Here, “active business” means (1) you’ve worked with at least 1-2 paying clients; (2) you have a live website that can be accessed online during the session. 

Participation is limited to 15 attendees. No walk-ins allowed.

Learn to apply the classic story formula to networking situations, to engage potential prospects’ interest and position yourself in their minds as a rescuer and problem-solver.

In a brainstorming session with your peers, analyze other participants’ stories and share your immediate reactions from the standpoint of a prospective client.

A professional narrative development consultant will lead the group discussion and help you craft the feedback into conversational explanation of your business creatively phrased to pique interest and set you apart from the competition.

At the end of this workshop, you will have learned how to:

• Recount a classic story formula and your role in it
• Explain what you do/sell in one sentence, a short paragraph, and a full sales pitch
• Convince prospect that your product/service will enable them to prevail over adversity

Join us for a fun, dynamic interactive session and schedule a free follow-up meeting with a SCORE NYC mentor at your earliest convenience.
