Episode 007: Starting conversations is critical in any networking situation. The traditional answer to getting beyond the first "Hello" is the elevator speech. The problem is that even after decades and decades there are still people who hate them. A scripted and memorized elevator speech can sound wooden and stiff. Delivering one can leave you awkward and anxious… and possibly make you feel a bit like a used car salesman. In this episode Eric will talk about a different way to approach learning to introduce yourself that feels more genuine and engages more naturally. By preparing conversation elements instead of an elevator speech you can increase the likelihood you'll get a positive response as well.
