45 seconds and not a second more

Business Networking International is not just an inspiration because they're great at networking, are focused on actual revenue but I love their motto:
Givers Gain.

Tod
ay I visited a super-chapter in Toronto
 

hosted by my networking superhero Lisa Taylor of Challenge Factory

They have an exercise that I
adore. 
It reminds me how shabby my networking is. 
A 45 second introduction.Sounds easy right?

My tips for what to include in your 45 seconds:

- Who you are, name of your company
- What
you do, 20 seconds MAX!
- What your ideal client referral looks like
- What problem you solve, how you can help others
- A story of what good business looks like for you
- Humour

- Close with repetition of who you are, company name

Some used iphone stopwatches, most didn't.


Get working on yours, practice it daily.

BNI is th
e Ninja training of networking
This is the Wushu school of business

For anyone in business, consider joining your local
It will make you money

It will change your life
