Before we start:
Save your spot for my masterclass on social pitching: How to answer "What do you do?" with a game-changing social pitch.

It's Monday May 20, 2024
Details and sign-up at https://www.christinarebuffetcourses.fr/masterclass-social-pitch
-----------------------------
Now, let's talk about the importance of tailoring your pitch to the context of a one-to-one meeting. 

Those attention-grabbing openers, often recommended for "great pitches", can actually create a disconnect in a one-to-one setting. 

Instead, engage in a dialogue with the potential client, ask questions, and listen to their perspective. 

By building rapport and trust, you can then deliver a more conversational and tailored pitch. 

Not all pitches are created equal and that the key to a successful pitch is considering the context and objective of the interaction.
