Deep Dive Session: Turn Networking Conversations into Sales Appointments, with Andy Winig (Rotarian aka "The Elevator Pitch Coach")

You’ve given your Elevator Pitch and had a nice conversation.

Now what?

How do you transition from polite small talk to productive conversations that bring more clients to your business?

In this interactive workshop you’ll learn the key networking skills that turn strangers and acquaintances into clients and referral partners. We’ll cover:

• When to follow up (and when NOT to).
• How to identify the right connections (and avoid the ones that will just waste your time).
• The natural and non-salesy transitions that morph a networking conversation into an exploratory sales meeting.
• A simple framework for deciding who you want to meet with and how to structure that meeting.
• An approach that automatically makes people think of qualified referrals for you.

By the end of this 60-minute workshop you’ll have learned and practiced three key skills for turning networking connections into clients and referral partners.

About Our Speaker:

Andrew Winig, the Elevator Pitch Coach, uses his improvisational, musical theater, and business backgrounds to make his virtual and in-person programs fun, entertaining, engaging, and practical.

Andrew found that the following the typical Elevator Pitch advice didn’t lead to any referrals for his businesses. Over 8 years he applied his engineering mind to identify and test new skills in search of a simple approach that works consistently. His ground-breaking book “Elevator Pitch Handbook: The Step-by-Step Guide to Starting Conversations” condenses what he discovered into 51 readable pages that will forever change the way you talk about what you do. Andrew wants you to get better leads from your Elevator Pitch and shares his unique and effective techniques through email newsletters, virtual and in-person workshops, private coaching, and keynote speeches.

On the second Monday of the month, our sessions focus on marketing and sales through pitching and presenting our companies and work.

On the fourth Monday of the month, we have "Questions" sessions where we dive deeper into business topic through the exploration of content related to specific business questions that we often tie back to the Rotary 4-Way test. (Note: you must RSVP separately through Zoom for the 4th Monday sessions.)

Future meetings on the 2nd and 4th Monday's of the month.
