Going to Dagny's...to film our 60 second elevator speech

By

dagny eason wilton CT realtorThis morning, I'm going to one of favorite Active Rainer's homes - Dagny Eason - So we can film our 60 second elevator speech.  I'm used to doing these for BNI, but really not crazy about videotaping it.

I don't really know how to do that video thing nor do I have a video camera, but I figured if I went to Dagny's, she would help me.  And, maybe I can help her - maybe I can film her or maybe I can help her w/ SEO or something.  This is what good Active Rain buddies are for.

Unfortunately, my hair doesn't look great...it's too bad I couldn't do this 2 weeks ago after I had my hair styled for my cousin's wedding, but I was way too busy that week.  We have to get this done by the end of the month, so c'est la vie on the hair.  I told Dagny that this one is fine to do for the contest, but we will have to do a "redo" at some point in the future when my hair is good and put that one on the website.  She agreed, so I'm off to Wilton Ct this monring.

I think I might film mine with a sample of hardwood or carpet or something.  We'll see.

Good luck, ladies!  I admire your gumption!  (BTW, I enjoyed hearing Dagny speak at Raincamp in Atlantic City this year.)

Sounds like fun, I hate those bad hair days but there is always the "Moroccan oil" to help the flyaways and your hair looks great when you wear it back! Good luck!

I am so excited for you Debbie!  If you are already comfortable with what you are going to say then you have overcome half the battle.  As far as hair...we're women and we're never happy with it.  There isn't a day I film a video that I'm happy with my hair.  You just have to do it and know that you will look and sound great!

Too staged or over rehearsed doesn't look good.  Just be yourself.

Wow. Driving for a contest. Now that is dedication! There are so many videos out there because most smartphones have a video feature. Getting used to using these and quickly posting seems like a good skill to develop.

Debbie, hope it goes/went well!  Filming is certainly a good way to get the message out live to people, so they can see it over and over and over...

I've got to get one lined up for me as well.  Thanks for the reminder!

And with this comment, I get that new little button under my picture!  :) !!!!!!
