BNI ten minute presentation

[B&BGaryC]

What should I do?

I have to spend ten minutes presenting something or other. It's only my third meeting.

For those who attend, what has been good for you?

 

[Mikey P]

Talk about what it's like being a man trapped in a woman's body.

 

["The" Al Bradham]

Give me a call, I have done 50 or more of these, 10 min. will fly by. It will be best to have some kind of hand out, cards, spotters, pictures whatever. Talk on your strong suits. You are not just a carpet cleaner you are the man in the room that knows more about what you do than anyone there.

Handing out items while you are speaking distracts everyone...and it takes up that precious time.
We do 8 minutes of speaking and 2 minutes on question and answers....never enough time.

Try to do something that will catch their attention.
I talked a while back about drinking some green chems to show their safety...make a big deal how you are going to drink your cleaning chemicals....then after, you can tell them that it's safe...well somewhat.


After about 100 times of just speaking of what I do...which no one cares about...I would start to do things that get me noticed.
Jen and I did a skit on Sony and Cher...people ate that up.
We took her songs and made them into carpet cleaning lyrics.


Cher, how do you feel about the other carpet cleaners you have used?

"If I could turn back time"

How do you feel about our carpet cleaning company?

"I found some one.....to take away the pet stains"



You get the idea.

Jenifer does a mean Cher impersonation, so that helped a lot.


Be creative dude, not so informative...this is your time to shine.

It's not about what you know, it's about who knows you.

Yes everyone in CA. is gay. Happy? :roll:



Before and afters are good if you don't pass them around.

You just have to make it memorable.


I will be doing my rendition of "service 1, is at your door" to the Michael Jackson's Billy Jean.
"if your gonna step in Poo, you better wipe your shoes...hey hey hey" as I do the moon walk.

Should be pretty good.

 

[davegillfishing]

"Mama always told me, be care full what you do. Don't go round spillin your red wine. oh no no!"

 

[B&BGaryC]

Thanks guys.

The main thing,,,, Have Fun!!!!
Humor always works. Probably everyone know what you do. So if you just say we do carpet, upholstery, etc., they know that. Talk about how your service will benefit them. Remember, features tell, benefits sell. Why should they use you over another cleaner? Talk about your the kind of customer you are looking for. Like someone with 5000sq ft of white carpet that has 9 kids, entertains alot, and has pets with an unlimited amount of money to spend on carpet cleaning. Mention that you give every customer with kids free packets of red koolaid, or a free kitten with a urinary problem along with a collor with your name and phone number. Enjoy the experience, have fun, build relationships with the members and be service oriented.

That's funny.
I used to tell them that I woud slip their pets exlax as I was leaving.

you have a guideline in your MSP manual. My last 10 min I simply followed that.

I made a power point with a few slides about each thing it talked about, who I am, services, what makes me different, an example of work.

Most important, tell them how to give you a referral, ie your target market, what key words to listen for when you're talking to someone or just overhearing a conversation.

It goes by really quick.
