Give them the words they can use to refer you! What you say at this time is the only information the other members will have to refer you on.</p>
<p><strong>Change your 1 minute promo at every meeting</strong><span id="more-3743"></span>Every meeting you get around 1 minute to educate the other members about your business.</p>
<p>I suggest changing what you say at every meeting. We try and include everything about our business in that short 1 minute segment but its too much information for the other members to remember. So&#8230; Keep it simple. Change it each meeting.</p>
<p>There are a number of things you could talk about at each meeting. Here are some ideas for you to think about:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Include the details of your product and/or service that set you apart from your opposition
<p></strong></li>
<li><strong>What is your unique selling proposition?<br />
</strong></li>
<li><strong>Rave about yourself</strong><br />
Do not be afraid to “blow your horn” a little. What may sound a little egotistical coming out of your mouth, will sound great coming out of someone else’s!</li>
<li><strong>Solutions you offer</strong><br />
I encourage you to keep your focus on the solutions you provide for people and what makes you unique.</li>
<li><strong>Who is your target market, what clients do you work with? Get very specific.<br />
</strong></li>
<li><strong>List one or two top benefits you provide for your clients</strong></li>
<li>Give a call to action or maybe a special offer or something that will encourage people to ‘trial’ your product or service.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Share something DIFFERENT every time you attend a meeting.<br />
</strong>This is your opportunity to teach the members about each part of your business. You could share a new product each meeting, maybe a different service you offer.</p>
<p>Have fun with it.</p>
