  • Why and how you are an expert in your field so tell the group something educational and show how it can benefit them.
  • Your unique selling proposition) – being clear on how you are different makes you stand out.
  • You could give a brief example / case study describing how you helped someone in the last fortnight.
  • Share a success story of your own.
  • Looking for referral partners within a specific industry / area etc.
  • You can also offer a special promotion but please don’t do this all the time, remember: if you come to sell you will repel!
