A notary public loan signing agent learns how to pitch her business at networking events. The focus is on serving others and building real connections instead of just selling yourself.
Chapters
Your 60 second elevator pitch should never be about you. Your 60 second elevator pitch should be, how can you add value to the networking group you're in? The reason most people elevator pitch sucks is because it's like, oh, look how great I am. Why are you going to a networking event? To get value from everyone else there. So your pitch should start and end with, I am here to serve anybody in this group. I'm here to connect as many people as I can to whatever they're looking for. Does that make sense? Because networking events become easier when you make it less about you and more about everybody else. So your elevator pitch, Linda, has nothing to do with you.
Okay?
You need to be the biggest person of resource in that. Because imagine if you're in a networking event and someone stands up and says, I'm here to help your business. Do you think when you break down into like, individuals will be like, hey, what do you do, Linda? Does that make sense? You want the one on one connection after the elevator pitch. Rarely will you get hired for something through an elevator pitch, but you'll get people that come up to you after your pitch. Big, hey, what do you do? So talk to us about what you do in the elevator pitch, more about what you're there for. I'm here with the intent of helping everybody here.
Okay?
Does that make sense? Because how many people do you think are going to say that?
None.
That's my point. But if you're the person who say, look, I know I'm here to help everybody here, I'm not sure how I'm going to help you yet, but I promise you, I'm going to rag my brain to figure out who I can network with you, who I can help you grow your business. Because that's why we're all here, right? To help each other's businesses grow. And so I'm here to figure out how I can help each and every single one of you with, with whatever your industry is. Because that's what I want to be. I want to be a value add to the community. I would love to talk to anybody after the, after this meet, after this elevator pitch session to figure out how it is. Because I promise you that they're going to be. Wow. That's who I want to know. See, the reason people don't make money, Linda, is because everyone's selfish. Everyone is. What can I do for me? Does that make sense? Yeah, like I'm on vacation right now serving you. That's why I like to think people like doing business with me. Because they realize it's everything's always bigger than me. My point is, I want you to be inspired by that and use that as your mantra of moving your business forward. What can I do for your business? And really show that you'll do anything for someone's business. And then the business, your notary public, loan signing agent business will then grow itself. Does that make sense? So tomorrow I want you working on how you're going to concisely say, I'm here to serve everyone in this networking event. I don't know how I'm going to do it, but my goal is to help everyone in here get more business, earn more business, give them a referral, because that's what you're here for. And that's what I want to be known for. I want to be known for the Nashville citizen who here to help everybody. And then naturally, curiosity will be created. Through that curiosity, then you have conversations. And then through the conversations, when you tell people you're notary public loan signing agent, you need real estate agent, networking, title company networking. That's how you get authentic and break it down. Does that make sense?
