How to Answer the First 3 Questions Everybody Asks

Networking shouldn’t feel like a pop quiz!

But if you’ve ever stumbled through “What do you do?” or drawn a blank on “Who do you work with?” - you’re unprepared.

Here’s the secret:

People at networking events aren’t asking random questions.

They ask the same six things, every time.

And when you’re ready for them, the conversation flows.

This high-energy, 60-minute workshop is for professionals who want to:

• Show up with confidence (instead of scrambling for words)
• Create clarity around their services and value
• Start better conversations that lead to clients and referrals

You’ll come away with 3 new personalized pitches that answer the first three questions everyone asks.

Let’s make networking easier, more fun, and way more effective!

There’s no charge for this workshop, but advance registration is required. A recording will be available for registered attendees and current SPC members.
