Your 30-Second Intro: Do You Get Attention With Your 30-Second Introduction?

January 6th, 2009 by Cristina Favreau

Kevin Dervin wrote an article, Do You Get Attention With Your 30-Second Introduction?, for WebProNews a while back that I wanted to share with you.

He offers these 5 tips for developing a compelling 30-second intro:

  1. Start with the first sentence.
  2. Avoid the What You Are approach.
  3. Avoid the What You Do approach.
  4. Say how you solved a problem or served a client.
  5. Tell them why you’re unique.

You can read the entire article here.

My new guidebook, Designing a Compelling 30-Second Intro, takes you through the creation process of creating a networking introduction designed to get the coveted “Tell me more!” reaction.
