How to Introduce Yourself

If you blow that intro, the whole room moves on.

In business and networking, most people fumble this one shot.

🚫 They ramble.
🚫 They oversell.
🚫 They sound like a broken record.

Don’t be like most people.

If you can master your intro, you’ll unlock doors most people wouldn’t dream of.

Here’s how to do it right:

1️⃣ Lead With Proof
→ Skip the title. Share a result.
→ “I’ve helped drive $2B in ROI” hits way harder than “I’m in marketing.”

2️⃣ Hit a Pain Point
→ Call out their biggest challenge.
→ “Most companies can’t get attention online” sets you up as the solution.

3️⃣ Use a 10-Word Story
→ Boil down your backstory.
→ “Built a 7-figure agency in 5 years” is clear and punchy.

4️⃣ Own the Room With Body Language
→ Shoulders back. Chin up. Eye contact locked.
→ Speak slower than usual. Presence > pitch.

5️⃣ End With a Question
→ Flip the script. Make it about them.
→ “What’s your biggest growth challenge right now?” = instant connection.

6️⃣ Mirror Their Language
→ If they say “clients,” don’t say “customers.”
→ Speak their language. Build trust faster.

7️⃣ Show What’s Next
→ Talk about the vision, not just the job.
→ People follow momentum, not maintenance.

8️⃣ Flex Without Flexing
→ Drop one credibility marker, then pause.
→ “Worked with Tony Robbins’ team” is all you need.

You won’t get a second shot at a first impression.
So when the moment comes, make it count.
