How to prepare for Speed Networking?
You need to prepare for Speed Networking. Below you will find two links, one for a sample capability statement and the other for basic practices for presenting yourself in a brief presentation.
Capability Statements. Your capability statement is a one page summary of your credentials. This will provide your prospective Decision Maker a quick overview of your credentials and accomplishments and will encourage a more-in-depth conversation on how your services can meet his or her needs.
Elevator Pitches. Your elevator pitch is a key presentation tool in informal, time sensitive settings. It allows you to quickly introduce yourself and then get to the heart of an effective conversation of how your services or products meet the needs of the prospective client that you are meeting.
