How To Get the Results You Want When 
You Only Have 30 Seconds To Talk 

Personal Coaching for All Attendees! 

Workshop Leader: Bob Bailey, Message Builders 

  • Get results rather than disappointment at networking events.
  • Attract the people who can help you in your business.
"Thirty seconds to get across what you do for the world? Bob Bailey's 'Elevator Speech Workshop' helped me pack a lot more meaning into that brief time slot. Bob creates a friendly, supportive atmosphere in which even the most nervous would-be public speaker can make progress.  

"Well worth the money. Thank you, CPCUG!"

"I made two very good contacts as a result of having my pitch critiqued during Bob Bailey's Elevator Speech Workshop at the December 2002 CPCUG E&C SIG meeting. One is about to be a client, the other is a very interesting fellow with whom I may have future mutual interests. It was clearly worthwhile participating in the workshop. Bob's a masterful presenter and speaking/presentation coach."

Picture this: 

  • You are at a networking event. 
  • There's a roundrobin of self-introductions going on. 
  • You are next! What do you say? 
  • Will you be remembered?
  • Will you get the results, contacts, and action you want?
  • Or will your introduction fade into the background, like so many others?
Who should attend: 
  • Anyone who attends networking events to build business. 
  • Sales reps who frequently meet new prospects in social situations. 
  • Executives who want to promote their companies and products. 
  • Anyone who dreads standing up and "saying a few words about yourself." 
What you'll learn: 
  • How to set yourself apart from others. 
  • A step-by-step failsafe approach to creating the introduction. 
  • How to get their attention. 
  • How to close your introduction and get action.
How you'll profit: 
  • You'll feel more comfortable.
  • You'll be remembered.
  • You'll get results from your Elevator Speech.
At this interactive workshop you will give your elevator speech, get immediate feedback, learn techniques to improve your presentation skills, and have an opportunity to rework your speech and present a new and improved version.
