Episode 63: Choosing the Right Words When the Clock Is Ticking
In this solo-style episode, Faithann switches things up by having her daughter step in as the interviewer, guiding a thoughtful conversation about one of the most overlooked networking skills: adjusting your introduction based on the time you’re given.
Faithann reflects on two networking meetings she attended back-to-back—one where she had a full minute to speak, and another where she could only share her name and business. From those experiences, she breaks down how confident networkers tailor their words to fit the moment.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why your introduction should change based on whether you have 5 seconds, 30 seconds, or a full minute
How to think of your intro like gift wrapping—matching the words to the size of the opportunity
When a short descriptor or tagline can add clarity without breaking the rules
Why visibility in the room still matters, even when you can’t say much
Why networking during the holidays can actually create stronger referral opportunities
Featured Invitation
Faithann also shares details about her upcoming Buying Signals for Networkers Mastermind, designed to help networkers recognize buying signals and invite next steps with confidence—without sounding pushy.
Both in-person and virtual options are available. The mastermind is 8 Weeks and begins in early Feb. 2026.
Hop on the Buying Signals waitlist for first access + special pricing.
