SUMMARY:BizConnect BizTools Workshop: Ditch the Pitch
DESCRIPTION:DITCH THE PITCH: An interactive personal growth workshop to help you make an impactful first impression with your introduction. \nEither your business has just launched and you’re excited to get out there and start promoting it or your business has been around a for years. Regardless\, you still get nervous when someone asks you “what do you do?” You get even more nervous when you have to stand up even for a few seconds and introduce yourself and your business. \nVery few can answer effortlessly. There should be simplicity in your answer so that people completely get it. In your head it’s clear but when you open your mouth to speak you can’t find the words. It’s obvious that things have gone south when the person with whom you are speaking has a glazed over look in their eyes. You can almost see the grocery list they are creating in their head. You have just bored them or worse\, confused them. Either way\, the moment is lost\, and opportunity has left the building. \nNEW FORMAT: We have condensed the workshop\, facilitated by Marcia Brodie\, from 2 days\, to a 3-hour workshop in one day. You will still get the same benefits with less of a time commitment. During the 3 hours we will help you unpack your top priorities and help you determine what are the most important aspects of your business that you would be talking about. We will help you create an impactful introduction that will be clean and concise and will leave people wanting to know more. \nMarcia Futterman Brodie is the founder and owner of Marcia Trains and has been in sales and marketing in both the private and not-for-profit sector for over thirty years. Additionally\, Marcia has been a sales manager and trained sales professionals in the art of presentations and marketing. Marcia also coaches individuals with interviewing strategies and communication skills.

This fee will cover the cost of the captains.
