It's a shame, but most business people are not prepared with an "elevator line." They either answer as in your example (I'm in insurance) or they talk for 20 minutes and don't listen. Very good post.

I think its extremely important to give yourself a "line" when somebody asks you what you do instead of a title. Great post- I talked about this in a post I wrote a while ago.

Many businesses failed to expand because they failed to communicate. They failed to communicate because the had not first 'sold' the problems to their potential buyers. Without knowing they had a 'problem' , why would they want to buy. Thus, you had nailed it very well in your blog. Congratulations. I believe that with your keen focus and desire to help solve other people's business and communication needs, you'll soon take your business to new heights very soon. Once again, I want to congratulate you in advance. Cheers, Steve Chia Hi Vivienne,

We are always wiser after a tiring experience. I should be writing something on Alex Mandossian. The guy has a big heart, and not all internet guru has that gift . Well, I did attend at least 2 World Internet Summits to know the difference. Hi Moonshi

Being grilled for nearly 20-mins in front of 2,000 people was an exhilarating and humbling experience. It was a hell of a time for me on stage though with Alex Mandossian.
