Will you have to do a 60 second pitch?

Most people who are new to networking might feel nervous about speaking in public. So, the prospect of having to do a 60 second pitch is understandably worrying, so let us reassure you.

You will have the opportunity to introduce yourself and your business. However, there’s no expectation to be pitch perfect.

Our Better Networking Hubs groups in Lancashire are supportive and encouraging; our members have all done this for the first time and are testament to how you will build confidence over time.

Your introduction is simply a chance to share what you do and how others can help you generate referrals. Many members find that the more they attend, the easier and more natural it becomes.

You’ll be supported every step of the way, so you can develop your networking skills at your own pace. Many members start off feeling unsure, but quickly grow in confidence and begin to enjoy sharing what they do.

It also helps when you realise you’re not selling to the people in the room. Instead, they’re there to help you make introductions outside of the group.
