Hey, welcome back to part four of this very special series,
all about helping you to improve your English for work fast.
And in the previous videos, parts one, two, and three,
we worked on one specific business, English situation,
very useful for so many different situations that you need
to know how to do this,
and that is introducing yourself or doing a short
elevator pitch. Now, in those previous videos,
we created your pitch from start to finish,
and today you learn one important tip to really
double the chances of hearing a yes.
After your pitch in English, let's go. Hi,
I'm your English coach Christina,
and welcome to Business English with Christina,
where we solve your business English problems fast.
This is the final video in this series,
but I'm following this series with a very special,
free interactive workshop on what you need to do after you
pitch your ideas. And you can get your invitation to that workshop by
signing up for my newsletter. The link is down below.
And then that workshop is going to happen on November 18th.
And like I said, it's free and it's going to be very, very,
very valuable for your English, your work, your job,
and all of that fun stuff. So in the last videos,
you learned how to use your elevator pitch to show very quickly
your competence, your strengths, your skills,
the value you bring,
and you also learned how to ask specifically for something that
you would like to get from the other person.
So now you're ready for this final part of the series.
Let's imagine you're at any kind of business situation where you have
introduced yourself, you've made your pitch,
you have asked for something specific, you, I mean,
you probably then continued the conversation with your business contact
talking about business and maybe things not related to business because we
also do that as well. But anyway,
the conversation is coming to a close and maybe the other
person
doesn't remember everything that you told them at the beginning in your pitch,
and maybe they don't remember that thing that you asked for.
So when you close the conversation,
you just want to bring that back and
remind them, maybe offer to follow up or to contact them,
something that really like anchors the
action that should happen after your conversation.
And this is going to double your chance of.
Success after that conversation ends.
So at the end of that conversation, you might just say something like this,
It was nice talking to you,
and I'll send you a quick follow up email later today about a contact at Amazing
Core. Now,
maybe you were talking to this person about how your business could help theirs.
In that case, you could end the conversation like this.
It was nice talking to you.
I'd love to send you some details about how we could help your company,
or if you shared a great idea about how you could help the company where you
already work, then say something like this,
Could we meet in the next few weeks to discuss how this new project could work
for our company and maybe set up a timeline for our work?
But you see the idea is that you close the conversation by
setting up an expectation of something that's going to happen after the
conversation,
basically to move forward on the things that you discussed
together. Okay? And now we're here like to the exciting part,
because you've been through this entire series on how to improve your English
fast by identifying one specific thing,
breaking it down into all of the little parts that you need to
improve on individually,
and then putting it all together so that you have something
very simple, but they can have a big impact on your work,
on your confidence, on your English, on all of that. And as you saw,
we did it just one step at a time. And that's what makes it feel,
makes it feel possible, makes it feel easy.
So what does that entire pitch sound like from start to finish?
Let's wrap it up with a full example. Hi,
I'm Christina Robe. It's such a pleasure to meet you.
I'm a marketing consultant at PR Associates,
which specializes in helping businesses with their public relations.
We just finished helping Ecor create a community outreach program
and a PR campaign to promote it. And now you ask for what you want.
I'm really inspired with the work Amazing Core does,
and my team and I would love to help you create the kind of public relations
campaign that will allow your business to grow. And then of course,
you'll go away and you'll talk about lots and lots of things.
And then at the end of the conversation,
it was nice talking to you and I'd love to send you some more details about how
we can help your company. And there you have it.
That is your entire pitch from start to finish,
plus a little call to action to conclude the
conversation and double your chances of moving forward after
making that pitch.
And if you go over to my blog,
you can go back and review the other parts of this series. With all those.
Resources,
you'll have everything you need to create your perfect pitch so you can feel
confident and you can use it again and again in so many different
situations. And now that that conversation is over,
you're going to have to follow up with the person.
And generally that's by email.
So now that you know how to pitch yourself,
go ahead and join me for my free interactive workshop on November 18th,
which is going to be all about emails in English and how to write the perfect
follow up email,
but also several other very common types of emails that you
write in English for your business.
And we're gonna do something really exciting that I've never done before
but I'm seen it done and I love the idea.
And it's basically taking actual emails from
real clients keeping them anonymous of course but
going through the email with you to analyze and correct it so that you can
see something typical from, let's say, a learner of English,
a business person learning English the emails they typically write.
I will go through those emails, correct them, analyze them, correct them,
and show you how to improve it so that you can improve your own
emails. It's gonna be really exciting.
It's on November 18th but you do need to sign up for my
newsletter so that you get your invitation to that free workshop.
And of course,
the link to sign up is down below in the
description of this video. All right,
thank you so much for sticking with me for the entire
four parts of this series, and I'm very, very,
very excited to see you in that interactive workshop on November 18th.
All right. See you there. Bye.
