It's about state. It's about magnetism. You'll hear why this small act can flip your mindset, attract aligned energy, and create real, tangible results—without you saying a word. If you're ready to stop chasing and start attracting, this one's for you.

However, after observing many students struggle with effective networking (most recently while hiring for our internship position), I felt compelled to edit and share this throwback episode that I recorded with students at Fordham University more than a year ago.In this episode, you'll learn:❌ The biggest turn-off when it comes to networking❌ Why you might not have found success in networking yet ✅ How reframing networking in your mind can help you build meaningful relationships ✅ Creative ways to leave a lasting positive impression on potential employers or hiring managers—plus real-life examples! If this resonates with you and you'd like to dive deeper, I'll be back at Fordham this Wednesday, March 5th, for another speaking event. Hope to see you there. Good luck!

In the latest episode of the Building Better Businesses podcast, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche dive into the art of elevator pitch strategies—a crucial tool for entrepreneurs, developers, and business owners looking to set themselves apart from the competition. This episode explores how to craft a compelling narrative, niche down your audience, and refine your pitch strategies for maximum impact. Why Elevator Pitch Strategies Matter The episode begins with a candid discussion between Rob and Michael about the challenges of entrepreneurship, including finding the balance between good and bad days. They acknowledge the importance of persistence and the ability to adapt—both of which are key when it comes to perfecting your elevator pitch strategies. As Rob puts it, an elevator pitch is more than just explaining what you do—it's about creating a story that resonates. Many developers struggle to answer the question, What do you do? in a way that's engaging and memorable. Too often, the response is a flat, I write code. Instead, they should focus on painting a picture of the value they bring to clients and customers. What Are Elevator Pitch Strategies? Elevator pitch strategies are techniques used to craft a brief and persuasive speech that sparks interest in what you or your business does. Ideally, it should be concise enough to deliver in the time it takes to ride an elevator—around 30 seconds. The goal is to be clear, compelling, and memorable. Why Your Business Needs Strong Elevator Pitch Strategies Your pitch serve multiple purposes: Quickly communicate your unique value proposition Help you stand out in networking situations Can be used in job interviews, sales calls, or investor meetings Ensure you're prepared to talk about your business at any moment Crafting Effective Elevator Pitch Strategies Rob and Michael discuss several key elements of a strong pitch: Focus on the Problem You Solve Instead of stating what you do, articulate what problem you solve. For example, instead of saying, I develop software solutions, say I help businesses streamline their operations by automating their most time-consuming tasks. Keep It Simple and Clear Your pitch should be easy to understand, even for someone outside your industry. Avoid jargon that only insiders would recognize. Make It Memorable Storytelling is a powerful way to create a lasting impression. Use analogies or real-world examples to make your pitch stick in people's minds. Differentiate Yourself What sets you apart from the competition? This could be your approach, your unique expertise, or the specific market you serve. Practice and Refine The best way to perfect your elevator pitch strategies is to practice in front of a mirror, with friends, or even record yourself. Adjust your wording, tone, and body language to ensure confidence and clarity. How Elevator Pitch Strategies Help You Target the Right Audience One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make is trying to appeal to everyone. Rob emphasizes that focusing on a specific audience makes your elevator pitch strategies stronger and more effective. For example, a software developer might start with, I develop custom web applications. But a more refined version could be, I build automation tools for small businesses looking to streamline inventory management and reduce manual errors.The second version is much more targeted and likely to attract the right customers. Real-World Examples of Elevator Pitch Strategies Michael shares his own journey of improving his pitch. Initially, his approach to Quality Assurance (QA) services was too broad, making it difficult to sell. Over time, he refined it to focus on a test-driven QA approach tailored to businesses that prioritize reliability and user experience. Similarly, major brands like Apple have used simple yet powerful pitch, such as 1000 songs in your pocket to describe the iPod. They didn't get bogged down in technical details but instead focused on the experience and value. The Challenge: Create Your Own Elevator Pitch Strategies At the end of the episode, Rob and Michael challenge listeners to refine their own elevator pitch strategies. The challenge is simple: Write down what you do in a single sentence. Identify the key problem you solve for your ideal client. Revise your pitch to focus on value and storytelling. Practice in front of a mirror or with friends. Share with the community for feedback. This exercise helps you hone in on your messaging and ensures that when the opportunity arises, you'll be ready with compelling and memorable elevator pitch strategies. Bonus Tips for Delivering Elevator Pitch Strategies Effectively Engage with your audience – Make eye contact and be personable. Tailor your message – Adjust your approach depending on who you're speaking to. Use a hook – Start with a question or statement that immediately grabs attention. End with a call to action – Provide a way for people to follow up, whether it's a business card, website, or social media. Final Thoughts Strong elevator pitch strategies can open doors and create opportunities. It's not just about selling a product or service—it's about making meaningful connections. Whether you're a developer, entrepreneur, or business owner, investing time in refining your pitch will pay off in the long run. Want to hear more about how to build a better business?

This episode is a clip from an Expert Call I facilitated in the Smart Cleaning Tribe last December with my friend Alonzo Adams of Busy Bee Cleaning Company in West Chester, PA. Alonzo is a serial entrepreneur with one of the best business & financial mindsets I've ever had the opportunity to learn from. His cleaning company is top rated in Southeastern PA. Alonzo has also grown multiple revenue streams outside of his cleaning company, which is creating generational wealth for his family. He also just completed his term as the chairman for the Association of Residential Cleaning Services (ARCSI). I invited Alonzo onto a Tribe call to share about ARCSI and it's many benefits. But my true intention was to give Tribe members a dose of millionaire mindset around business, finance, and networking. Alonzo is a master networker. In this clip, I extract the networking portion so you can get a flavor of how the rich become rich. Here are my notes from the call with Alonzo."Your Network is your Net Worth”“It's not about the How. It's about the Who”- Dan Sullivan. The Who changed my whole life. I had to change my entire WHO in my life to take me the places that I needed to go. How do I get around the A players in my industry? Alonzo had to invest in his future by buying plane tickets, conference tickets, and connect with people in person. This builds trust.In Vegas, Alonzo has connected with a guy in 5 minutes in the hallway that created a 6-figure cleaning contract with Will Smith's people.In Vegas, he asked Derrick Christian, “Who is this room that I don't know that I should know?” Alonzo met the two people and they are doing financial business together now. Networking is purposeful.People miss on networking - It's not about you. Look to be a resource to others. Show the value of others knowing YOU. Ask this. "Why is it important to know me?" What is you sales pitch that makes you valuable to others. Networking has become more selfish in this decade. Networking takes time and you need to practice. Don't go to people with agendas. Be interested and be interesting.It takes time to craft your elevator pitch. What do you have that's unique that can help others that makes you stand out. Are you referable?You can't touch and go in networking.  You have to water the relationship to grow it.  Alonzo told the story of the $100k per 1-hour keynote. Always plant seeds.At conferences, the power is in the hallways and dinners verses the chairs. Masterminds and businesses have been created from the hallways.We need to look at opportunities for networking events when things open up.Two groups in 2020. One tried to maintain and others did more than they ever did. Alonzo got around the ones that were doubling and got around them. Put together a plan and don't deviate! If you're not planning to succeed in 2021, you're planning to stay the same. Control your own narrative and your own destiny! The Wannapreneurs were the ones speaking loudly and didn't make it. They were shallow.“Tough times make tough people!” - Alonzo AdamsFind 3 people that you want to meet that you've never met before. Make a commitment to link up with these people. Connect with these people. Who are they and make a commitment to do it. Alonzo does this every year! Look for people who are Approachable, are Purpose Driven, and have a good Mindset. Habits exposes people. Someone who is financially savvy.Read the rest of this article at the Smart Cleaning School website

(Click To Network At My House Party: https://www.tailopez.com/mansionpartyyt ) - Get out of the shadows. Go network more. Be bold. Get extroverted! It pays off if you do it right. The power of books and networking is the same. Both are “magical” hacks that save you 10 years by downloading their wisdom and experience quickly into your brain (without you having to experience all their trial, error, and suffering). A networking even is where someone told me, "Tai you should try this new thing called 'YouTube ads'..." A few months later I was making $100k a day profit from youtube ads.

Twenty-five years ago, a Harvard Business School case study featured the exceptional networking practices of Silicon Valley entrepreneur and venture capitalist Heidi Roizen. This was before the rise of online social networks and the ubiquity of social media. But today, Roizen says that those developments have not fundamentally changed how she builds and maintains strong personal and professional relationships. Now a partner at Threshold Ventures and a lecturer at Stanford Graduate School of Business, she shares the biggest missteps that she sees people take. She also explains the impact of AI and remote work on networking, her most effective strategies for building relationships, and her frank advice for those just starting their careers. Roizen is subject of the HBS case study “Heidi Roizen.”
