Your observations are quite right. It is obviously very nerve wracking for many people when the network for the first time as they often have not had to speak in public before. Thanks Lesley-Anne.

Having been on the networking circuit myself for some time I always feel for the first timers who are nervous about standing up and because of that they tend to tell the room everything about themselves and their business. This article will give them a good outline to work from. Good article Roland.

Being a complete newbie in the networking circles this is something that I am constantly working on. I find it very tricky to say what I do as my services are very varied and tailored to individuals. Some great points here for me to think about before the next Wiltshire Business Meeting!!! Very interesting article Roland.

No one likes to be aggressively sold to, especially in a networking environment when the aim is to build relationships first, and earn trust - with possible leads and sales to follow. So an elevator pitch that embraces this philosophy using the points outlined by Roland above has to be the way to go. I suppose your elevator pitch should ideally elicit the response of "How do you do that?", and then you can elaborate in a non-threatening way.

People will generally pick up on the first things said. Good post Roland,
