30 Second Success Books
30 Second Success: Ditch the pitch & start connecting!
I’ve been where you are right now – struggling to find the exact right words to say to attract my ideal clients while showing up as my authentic self and then I learned a simple formula that changed everything.
The more I practiced my 30-second message, the clearer and more concise my message became. With clarity came confidence and I began connecting with the more and more clients who were attracted to what I was sharing.
Once I learned the simple formula and made it work for me, I began to cringe when I heard a brilliant peer speak about their business and stumble their way through their 30-second message. I began teaching others and they too began having success with their 30-second message.
That’s why I wrote this book: I wanted to share how you too, can create a compelling 30-second message that you will deliver with ease and confidence to attract the clients you WANT to work with!
This book takes you on a journey to:
- Understanding who your ideal clients are and what they need to hear from you.
- How to craft a 30-second message that speaks to the heart of your audience.
- Delivering your message with clarity and confidence.
- The benefits of connecting with the people in your network and beyond.
