You’re bound to be asked basic questions.
Where do you work? What do you do? What’s it like?
What do you do for fun? What do you hope to do this year?
Where do you live? Where did you go to school?
I could go on…
What I don’t understand is how unprepared so many people are when asked these questions. They stutter. They say different things each time. They give dreadful one word answers.
There’s no making a new first impression which is why it’s smart to invest as much time crafting an elevator pitch for these questions as it is for a business you care about.
Take the basic questions and blow them away with compelling answers.
Stay Positive & Just Because They Ask The Basics Doesn’t Mean They Care About The Basics (They Care About More)
