"Perfect Your Pitch"   

Another in the Best Practices Workshop Series 
In Partnership with the U.S. Small Business Administration 

When you’re starting a business, you must be able to tell your story in several formats and settings: the elevator speech when you’re networking, the sales presentation for meetings with prospects, and the YouTube video for your website. In this interactive workshop, presentation coach Joan Bowling helps you create engaging, conversational pitches that will open the door to sales and success.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• Why you should start your elevator speech with a question
• Which free editing tools are best for making your own videos
• How to use any smartphone to record a strong video pitch
• What you should never do in a sales presentation
• How to be ready at any time to answer the question, “What do you do?”

FEE: $25
