Sample Intros/ Commercials
     

Commercial Guidelines:

  • Be Brief

  • Be focused & rehearsed

  • Be specific

  • Create reasons to connect

  • Use "hooks" such as former employer name and target company names to help make connections

 

Everyone at Smiling and Dialing Club meetings has the opportunity to stand and give their "commercial." Everyone has the chance to share who they are and identify their goals. Those in transition are asked to take no more then 30 seconds those between transitions are asked to take no more then 15 seconds. The Club has developed guidelines as well as sample commercials to help members with their commercials.

Sample 1

Good morning, my name is John Smith and I have a strong background in marketing, sales and general management. Having recently left Pillsbury my focus going forward is a leadership role in a small to mid-sized consumer goods company that has a good entrepreneurial spirit, along with the desire and ability to grow. Again, my name is John Smith.

Sample 2

Hello, my name is Bill Jones. I was most recently the EVP & CTO of Integ, a medical diagnostics company. My experience has been in creating and commercializing medical and high-tech products. I am searching for a COO or other senior executive position as part of a small or mid-sized company that needs fast development of leading-edge technology products. I am currently interested in Medical Device, Inc. and Diagnostics Medical. Thank you, I'm Bill Jones.

Sample 3

I'm Mike Johnson, and I am seeking a senior management role in technology. I want to either build or fix things--"things" BEING either products or organizations. My last role was as CIO reviving a troubled IT organization at TechnoSoft International. My software experience is extensive. I've launched real products in commercial markets; deployed strategic systems and applications; and am old enough to know not only the origin of the term "software bug" but how to eliminate them. If you want a "can do" leader, call me.... I'm Mike Johnson
