“So, what do you do for a living?”

June 16, 2007 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

elevator pixabayDo you get tongue-tied when someone asks you what you do for a living? Stutter & stumble, blush & belittle yourself?

Nonsense! You need to work on your elevator speech.

What, you may well ask, IS an elevator speech? It’s that 20 to 30 -second answer to that question, “What do you do?”

Here’s the cold hard facts about how to create your elevator speech. Here’s another look at the topic.

 

The one I came up with for me?

“My name is Kate Holmes and I show folks that resale is a modern way to shop. I tell shopkeepers how to make their shops more appealing, more fun, and more effective as well as more profitable. To thrive, learn HOW at TGtbT.com… and tell your customers WHY at HowToConsign.com.”

Excuse me, this is my floor.
