Episode 99: Making Sure Your First Impression Has An Impact

If I asked you what your elevator pitch is, would you have something prepared? If so, what would it be? Have you ever been stuck with two events/speakers scheduled at the same time and wondered how you could best take advantage of that situation? Have you ever heard of Mentor Cafes? Do you wonder how you could be memorable in a positive way? Listen to this episode of the MIB podcast to hear me discuss these topics and give you my advice.  👍🏻  Here is the original email I mention: "Hi Rick! Clara here :)  I'm attending two music conferences back-to-back next month, and am looking to make the most of the opportunities.   Do you have any tips in regards to - Elevator pitches? - Deciding which event to attend when there are two you really want to attend scheduled at the same time? - Mentor Cafés / 1-on-1 meetings with industry heavy hitters? - Being memorable (in a good way?)   Thank you in advance!   - Clara" “Do your homework beforehand.
