Harvey Mackay's Column This Week

*Let your 'elevator speech' elevate your business*

By Harvey Mackay

If you were given a 180-second opportunity to change your business forever,
would you be prepared to do it on a moment's notice? You would if you learn
about the elevator speech as defined by Terri Sjodin in her new book, *Small
Message, Big Impact.*

The book's subtitle, *How to Put the Power of the Elevator Speech to Work
for You,* gets right to the point: the three minutes or so that you have to
introduce your product or service to a potential customer.

In meet-and-greet situations, we have a unique opportunity to start a
business relationship. Knowing how to use those few minutes to your best
advantage is a skill that is essential to getting to the next level. Are
you prepared for this challenge?

Terri Sjodin just became your best friend. "Small Message, Big Impact" is
an extremely practical guide that is clearly written and packed full of
terrific examples.

I've known Terri for a long time, and I am a big fan of her work. As a
professional speaker, I can vouch for the wisdom she shares. The way she
presents the information makes it easy to absorb. In fact, each of the
chapters becomes an elevator speech on its own, because she takes just the
right amount of time to get the ideas across.

Sjodin defines the elevator speech this way: "A brief presentation that
introduces a product, service, philosophy, or an idea. The name suggests
the notion that the message should be delivered in the time span of an
elevator ride, up to about three minutes. Its general purpose is to
intrigue and inspire a listener to want to hear more of the presenter's
complete proposition in the near future."

Working with that time constraint, you begin to realize that every word is
significant. You can't ramble or veer off message, or your presentation
loses focus and becomes small talk. That's where the value of her advice is
most apparent: getting to the point without getting stuck on the details.

"Your goal is to be both informative and persuasive, pairing rock-solid
information with compelling arguments," Sjodin says. "If you are too
informative, nothing happens. If you are too aggressive, nothing happens.
Find a balance and you'll see results."

Drawing on the work of Professor Alan Monroe, Sjodin works through the steps
of Monroe's Motivated Sequence which describes the normal sequence of human
thinking: attention, need, satisfaction, visualization and action. She
translates this scholarly work into language that anyone can understand and
apply to their specific situation.

Once you understand what the listener needs, the product becomes much easier
to craft. With useful examples and step-by-step outlines, she takes the
mystery out of what makes an effective message and how to best use those
precious three minutes.

Really outstanding speakers typically meet three benchmarks, she says.

1. *Case* -- "They have built solid persuasive cases, employing clean,
logical arguments and evidence to support their message."
2. *Creativity* -- "Their illustrations of the talking points are really
creative. They have blended thoughtful analysis and storyboarding to craft
intriguing and interesting messages."
3. *Delivery* -- "They present their messages in their own authentic
voices. There's no boring professional mode; they aren't canned Stepford
people. Their presentation style is genuine, and people sense the truth in
their delivery."

Sjodin offers the ten basic steps to developing an elevator speech, and
provides an outline worksheet that can be adapted for any situation. You
couldn't ask for a better how-to. She's taken the guesswork out of
preparing the presentation.

She emphasizes the importance of practice and evaluating your performance.
She includes a thorough speech evaluation form that allows readers to assess
their progress and effectiveness.

The creative approach Sjodin takes sets her book apart from so many other
advice books. Borrowing from MIT meteorologist Edward Lorenz, she starts
with "the butterfly effect," the notion that a massive storm might have its
roots in the faraway flapping of a tiny butterfly's wings.

"Assume that one tiny presentation at the outset of your journey could
ultimately result in the fruition of your short- and long-term plans," she
says, "and the magic of the Elevator Speech Effect can begin to generate a
positive ripple effect forward. The motivation you use to put yourself out
there is the potential to attain your goals and dreams."

*Mackay's Moral: * A great elevator speech can take you all the way to the
top.

Change is in the Air: 7 LinkedIn Tips for Career
Changers<http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/typepad/linkedinblog/~3/cMDgNR1T9LA/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email>

Posted: 07 Jun 2011 12:03 PM PDT

Maybe it's the shift of seasons, but is anyone else feeling a strong sense
that change is in the air these days? Case in point: Over 1,600 people from
around the world registered for our May "LinkedIn for Job Seekers" webinar,
and participants asked one question more than any other:

*How do I best use LinkedIn if I'm changing careers?*

As the global economy seems to be improving a bit and we're reaching the
midpoint of the year, it appears that people who've been contemplating a
move for a while are now ready to take action. While everyone in transition
has a unique situation, here are some suggestions for how to use LinkedIn to
help make a successful career change:

*1. Become an expert on the career you want to pursue*

From the moment you begin considering a change, start to read as much as you
can about the industry or function you want to join. Know which companies
are in the news, what the hot products or services are and when key
conferences are taking place. Being in the know will help you discover
organizations that might be hiring and will help you make a good impression
as you begin networking and eventually interviewing for positions in your
new industry.

A great way to do this research is through LinkedIn
Today<http://www.linkedin.com/today/>,
a new, free tool that customizes your news experience by sourcing content
from your network and lets you follow industries you might be interested in.
You can set up LinkedIn Today's personalized news dashboard to keep you
informed on all the news in the industry you want to pursue. You can even
have the top daily industry headlines sent right to your email inbox.
Another great way to research new industries or companies is with LinkedIn
Signal <http://www.linkedin.com/signal/>. It's easy to get started: just
search for specific keyword, topics or products you'd like to track and find
the hottest trending topics in your desired industry.

*2. Optimize your LinkedIn profile for your new career*

Your next crucial task is to revise your LinkedIn profile so it supports
your career change goals. Start with your headline — the most important
piece of real estate on your profile — and use it to promote the transition
you want to make. For instance, "Experienced corporate executive seeking
position in nonprofit management." If your job hunt is not public, try a
general headline such as " Experienced product and marketing executive."

Next, write a very strong Summary statement that briefly explains what
you're doing now and the fact that you're changing careers — don't leave it
up to the reader to guess that you want to make a change. Be sure to keep
your explanation concise and positive (i.e., never lament the fact that your
current industry is in decline or that you got laid off and are being forced
into a switch).

Then focus on explaining your "*transferable skills*" — those skills you
have that can apply to multiple industries or roles. Examples of
transferable skills include: people management, technical training, sales,
communication, negotiation, leadership, creativity, organization and general
administrative skills. As much as possible, you'll want to mention skills
that you know are important in the industry or function you aspire to. Not
sure what those are? Look at LinkedIn job postings and the profiles of
people in your desired career for ideas.

Once you've revised your profile, ask a few people who have a background in
this field to check it out and provide any additional "insider" tips.

*3. Join LinkedIn groups related to your desired career*

Joining LinkedIn groups in your desired industry or function is a great way
to build your knowledge, image and network in your new field. Remember that
your group memberships appear on your LinkedIn profile, so they indicate to
people that you are serious about your new career (if you are job hunting
secretly, you can adjust your profile settings so these group memberships do
not appear). You can remain in one or two groups related to your former
industry, but you need to give the impression that the majority of your
networking is now taking place in the field you want to enter.

Find which groups to join by using the Groups Directory feature and by
looking up the profiles of people you admire in your desired career and
seeing what groups they belong to. Try observing group discussions for a
while to see what people are talking about, and then join in the
conversation. Once you feel comfortable and confident, start to interact in
discussions, post and answer questions and respond to polls. Groups are a
great way to get noticed and start to build industry relationships.

*4. Alert your network to your career change plans*

Networking is crucial to a career change, particularly if you are currently
employed and not able to publicly announce your career change plans. Start
by reaching out individually to everyone you already know — friends, family,
neighbors, former colleagues, former classmates — to explain your desired
transition and ask directly for their support.

When you do this, don't make the common mistake of sending out generic,
blast messages about your job search. No one likes these and they generate
little response. I know it's time consuming, but the very best way to enlist
your existing contacts in your career change efforts is to reach out to each
person individually.

In each note, be very specific about what you're looking for as people
probably still identify you with your previous career. Ask to set up a phone
call or coffee to meet and talk further, and be sure to offer to help each
person with anything he or she might need. If you make the extra effort to
connect one-on-one, most people will make the extra effort to help you.

*5. Talk to anyone who works or has worked in the field you want to join*

In addition to networking with your existing contacts in any industry,
nothing beats talking to a real person who has firsthand experience in the
profession that interests you. Ask your existing contacts if they know
anyone in your desired field they would be willing introduce you to.

Additionally, use LinkedIn's Advanced
Search<http://www.linkedin.com/search>to research people in your
desired industry with whom you have something in
common (e.g. you attended the same university, worked at the same employer
in the past or belong to a shared LinkedIn group). You can reach out through
LinkedIn connection requests or InMail (if you have a premium account) to
request a brief, informal discussion.

During all of these conversations with industry members, ask people to
recommend insider tips, must-read publications and advice on what jobs in
their field are most realistic for people to transition into. Keep in mind
that it's not appropriate to ask any of these contacts for a job, just for
advice and guidance. And don't forget to send a gracious thank you email to
thank people for their time.

*6. Sign up for LinkedIn job alerts*

Sign up for email alerts of LinkedIn job listings in your desired career
field. You can customize these alerts by job function, location, keyword and
other factors to make sure you're receiving exactly the opportunities you
want. It's never too soon to start reviewing available positions and
applying for roles that look like a good fit for your transferable skills.
When applying for a job in a new profession, provide a detailed cover letter
that maps your experience to the job requirements. If you can connect the
dots for the employer, and showcase why you are a good fit for the job, you
will be more successful in the application process.

*7. Make real world changes*

Finally, remember that LinkedIn and other people's help can only do so much.
You may find through your rebranding, research and networking efforts that
you need to build additional skills and experience to successfully
transition to the new position you are seeking. If this is the case, start
to build new experiences any way you can — volunteer work, internships, blog
posts, additional education, etc. — to show that you're really serious about
breaking into a new profession.

Good luck!

Recruiters Who Waste Our Time

Posted by: "Lou Rotolo" lrotolo@optonline.net   lrotolo2

Thu Jun 9, 2011 5:37 pm (PDT)



I encourage everyone to start weeding out the recruiters who do not respond to emails or phone calls. In this case, I responded to this same job listing back on June 1st and then followed up with two telephone calls leaving a voicemail both times. My inquiries were ignored.

I’ve heard it before that recruiters are busy and focus their time on people they feel are the right fit for a job, but an email saying that stronger candidates were already identified takes about 10 seconds to send.

The best way to discourage this kind of behavior is to ignore any future listings from these recruiters and not forward listings from them to your networking groups. You’ll save yourself and other members the time and discouragement of tossing their application down another “black hole”. The good recruiters will be rewarded with our help and job applications and hopefully the bad ones will use their transferable skills to find work in another field.

Regards,

Lou
