Project 3 Reflection

Selling yourself as a consultant requires defining exactly what you offer and the approach you use. There are many different ways to define your approach to consulting. This assignment helps you develop an 'elevator speech,' or pitch for potential clients.
This project was so important to me because it was a totally new concept for me. At the beginning of the course, when I was reading through the project titles, project 3 was the only of the four projects I did not have a clue what it was about! I believe this is one more tool a consultant ought to have. I learned a lot out of this activity.
This assignment has helped me develop my "elevator speech" or pitch for potential clients by first analyzing several speeches prepared by other professional consultants, second by thinking about what I would say to a prospective client before he or she got off the elevator at the next floor, and third by keeping it short, concise, and memorable.
