Episode #71 – How Not to Pitch Yourself

FF-71-2 (1)

Pitching yourself can be scary, but there’s a right way and a wrong way to go about it. If you’re going to do it – you want to do it in a way that you’ll be successful and from a place of understanding the real exchange that goes on.

Acting like you’re doing someone a favor or like you’re not worthy isn’t the right way to go about it – ever.

Items Discussed in this Episode:

  • How do you extend the invitation where you’re making the ask?
  • You want to make sure you come across in the best light when you’re trying for an opportunity
  • Do your homework, be smart, and make sure you know what your target actually needs
  • Don’t make the assumption that everyone wants you or that you’re doing them a favor
  • When getting your pitch together, be honest but very clear about what you can offer
  • Keep it short and sweet, people are busy!
