"People Don’t Get What I Do"

There are so many ways you help people.

It's tempting to list them all because you don't want to miss any opportunities.

Ironically, better conversations start with saying less.

Join us and discover what to say first so people instantly get what you do and know who to send your way.

About Andrew Winig: Andrew Winig studied conversations on an improv stage, where getting a reaction matters more than finding the perfect words. Today, he uses a similar approach when working on your elevator pitch.

There's a ton of business experience around the table, so the gathered group can be your "Business Advisory Board."

In recent months, the group has taken on these questions:

• How do I optimize my collaborations with neurodivergent professionals?

• What is the role of holiday gift giving in business?

• What do we actually “do” to “build business relationships”?

• What have you learned from a memorable business “failure”?

• How do I get started in my brand new business? What should I do first, and second?

• How do I correct a prospect's misconception about what I do?

• How do I make networking and referral partnerships more productive?

• What's the right balance of talking and listening in business development and sales conversations?
