Networking is all about commitment!  In today's episode Rob and Sheryl discuss the importance of STICKING and STAYING with networking groups and relationships.  

Plants only grow where there are seeds. Hopping around will only result in tons of surface level connections.  Remember it's more important to have a power team of 10 than have 100 networkers know your name.

We know we need it, we’ve thought about it, and now we need to perfect it. THE ELEVATOR PITCH. How do you capture someone’s attention in just 30 seconds? This week, Rob and Sheryl sit down and discuss the art of crafting your elevator pitch. We’re always joined by guest Jeff McKissack, Founder and President of Defense by Design.

“You’ve got about 5 to 8 seconds to capture someone’s attention when you’re talking to them, no matter what the context… So, what do you say? You use a Hook! I would suggest to use a story because facts tell, but stories sell.” – Jeff McKissack
