First off, I want to wish you a very happy…successful…smooth-sailing…albeit a belated, 2009 ahead!

2008 was a year that was full of ups and downs. More downs actually.

There were the terrorist attack in Mumbai, earthquake in Shenzhen and devastating cyclone in Myanmar.

Financially wise, there was unprecedented bloodletting. The fall out from the sub prime crisis has seen titans like Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch and Citibank taken a real body blow.

Damn! Even my favorite club, Newcastle United, has descended into a real farce. Just when I thought it cannot go worst…it just did!

Personally, 2008 has been a real learning experience for  me. Made some mistakes, but have also gained a lot. And learnt a lot.

At the present moment, everything seems gloomy. But as we embarked on a new journey in a new year, I urge everyone to keep your chin up and forge ahead with renewed determination and vigor.

Always remember one thing:

It’s Always Darkest Before Dawn!

When things get soooooo bad, the only way left now is…you guess it….UP!

Use The Elevator Pitch To Get Strangers To Remember You…And Respond To You!

Do you attend a lot of networking events?

If you do, have you noticed the way you introduce yourself to people?

Remember, first impression counts right?

People are always thinking about their favorite radio station, WII FM. Otherwise known as "What’s In It For Me". If you are not going to grab their attention the moment you meet people, they probably going to forget you.

So what do you do when people ask you what you do?

Most people will say, "I’m a docter." Or "I’m a consultant." Or "I’m a teacher."

It’s always "I’m a this" or I’m a that". Boring. Not gonna cut it.

I’m going to talk about a different approach to introducing yourself that will get the attention of the person you are talking to.

It’s an approach we call…

The Elevator Pitch

Alright. Don’t let the name of this approach fool you.

It’s pretty simple. There are many variations of the elevator pitch. But this is one that has worked for me.

The way we introduce ourselves can be broken down into 3 parts. If you are into copywriting and sales, you will have no problem with this.
