Killer Elevator Speech Challenge in Katy Texas

Killer Elevator Speech Challenge in Katy Texas

My scenario will be take place in an area where I would have an opportunity to present myself to potential clients via a short elevator speech. The odds are much greater that I would be a in a restaurant and over hear a couple speaking to one another than standing at an actual elevator waiting to go up or down. I decided to write my presentation bas I am not sure I will have both time and access of another person to help video my presentation. The key item, in my opinion, is these short presentations has to portray an individual engaging in normal conversation as opposed to a written monologue one is repeating from rote memory.

I am sitting at McDonalds one a Saturday morning during the fall of 2011 in Katy Texas reading the Sports page of the Houston Chronicle while eating my Breakfast McMuffin when a couple sits down at the table next to me with their breakfast The man says to his wife or significant other “These weekend trips almost every weekend from Kerrville to Katy are absolutely beating me up as I am totally exhausted. How did we ever get to this point?”  The wife or significant other looks up shaking her head and responds with “Well it all started when we volunteered to watch the grandkids and now everyone just expects us to be here every weekend. We definitely need to seriously consider moving here to Katy and buying a home as I cannot go on like this.”

Hearing this whole conversation I jump to my feet and tell them” Hello I was not purposely trying to listen to your conversation but I heard you folks might want to move to Katy. I am Bob Gilbert and I am a Realtor with Better homes & Gardens Real Estate here in Katy. My area of expertise is the entire Katy area and I specialize in helping families finding excellent homes at reasonable prices. My background includes many years of extensive and successful financial management and now I am exerting all of my energy in the Real Estate field. I am a CPA and obviously I completely understand all of the financial aspects surrounding the acquisition of a home. I am also an expert negotiator as I learn the art of the deal from my many years of being a financial executive for the energy trading divisions of major corporations. I am a Realtor these days as I truly have a passion for homes and finding homes for different types of families ranging from first time home buyers to grandparents who need to move to be closer to their families.   My passion for homes goes back to my Mom who always wanted to live in her own home but never had the opportunity to do so. I urge you folks to consider interviewing any Realtor or Realtors in advance of appointing them to represent you in your real estate searches. I would be honored if you would remember me and include me in the interview group. I know you folks are busy eating your breakfast and I will let you get back to eating. Please take a few of my business cards and don’t hesitate to call or E-mail me if you have any questions or want more information. If you are interested, I can arrange to take you folks on a tour of the whole area and explain why Katy is a great place to live. I look forward to hearing from you folks and have a great weekend here in Katy. Take care. “

I plan to try to write a separate blog containing the salient points I believe a short presentation needs to include as well as discussing creating a medium length and long length presentation.

Bob -- You're right. Engaging in a conversation is best.  Forget the rote.  How turned off are you or anyone else by sales people who call and just talk to you in scripts? Doesn't work for me.  You're knowledgeable, polite, have financial credentials, and you like egg mcmuffins!  You get the job!

Bob Great speech you have so many qualifications to be a great realtor your personal knowledge of the area, your education and the fact you are a CPA instead of a bubblehead that gives realtors a bad name.

McDonald's? Breakfast McMuffin? Is that a Texas thing? lol

I hope you acquire some business from that.

I noticed when I was out with the two bosses last night that both of them left their business cards on the table with the bill and the tip, and it was a really nice tip. I think they will be remembered.
