Hey, welcome back to part four of this very special series,
0
380
4180
00:05
all about helping you to improve your English for work fast.
1
5060
4500
00:10
And in the previous videos, parts one, two, and three,
2
10060
4140
00:14
we worked on one specific business, English situation,
3
14330
4350
00:18
very useful for so many different situations that you need
4
18950
4850
00:23
to know how to do this,
5
23800
1040
00:24
and that is introducing yourself or doing a short
6
24860
4380
00:29
elevator pitch. Now, in those previous videos,
7
29760
3240
00:33
we created your pitch from start to finish,
8
33000
3320
00:36
and today you learn one important tip to really
9
36660
4540
00:41
double the chances of hearing a yes.
10
41200
2920
00:44
After your pitch in English, let's go. Hi,
11
44400
3480
00:48
I'm your English coach Christina,
12
48060
1540
00:49
and welcome to Business English with Christina,
13
49600
2160
00:51
where we solve your business English problems fast.
14
51800
3600
00:55
This is the final video in this series,
15
55630
2010
00:57
but I'm following this series with a very special,
16
57660
4180
01:02
free interactive workshop on what you need to do after you
17
62150
4890
01:07
pitch your ideas. And you can get your invitation to that workshop by
18
67040
4600
01:11
signing up for my newsletter. The link is down below.
19
71640
3760
01:15
And then that workshop is going to happen on November 18th.
20
75700
3540
01:19
And like I said, it's free and it's going to be very, very,
21
79580
4020
01:23
very valuable for your English, your work, your job,
22
83600
4320
01:27
and all of that fun stuff. So in the last videos,
23
87920
3800
01:31
you learned how to use your elevator pitch to show very quickly
24
91720
4480
01:36
your competence, your strengths, your skills,
25
96590
3330
01:40
the value you bring,
26
100140
1500
01:42
and you also learned how to ask specifically for something that
27
102140
4940
01:47
you would like to get from the other person.
28
107080
2400
01:49
So now you're ready for this final part of the series.
29
109730
3830
01:54
Let's imagine you're at any kind of business situation where you have
30
114120
4640
01:59
introduced yourself, you've made your pitch,
31
119120
2120
02:01
you have asked for something specific, you, I mean,
32
121300
3500
02:04
you probably then continued the conversation with your business contact
33
124800
5000
02:10
talking about business and maybe things not related to business because we
34
130920
5000
02:15
also do that as well. But anyway,
35
135920
2360
02:18
the conversation is coming to a close and maybe the other
36
138620
4860
02:23
person
37
143480
833
02:25
doesn't remember everything that you told them at the beginning in your pitch,
38
145710
4190
02:30
and maybe they don't remember that thing that you asked for.
39
150040
3500
02:33
So when you close the conversation,
40
153870
2870
02:37
you just want to bring that back and
41
157040
4380
02:41
remind them, maybe offer to follow up or to contact them,
42
161650
4970
02:46
something that really like anchors the
43
166740
4920
02:51
action that should happen after your conversation.
44
171660
2880
02:54
And this is going to double your chance of.
45
174720
3860
02:58
Success after that conversation ends.
46
178580
3300
03:02
So at the end of that conversation, you might just say something like this,
47
182050
3950
03:06
It was nice talking to you,
48
186330
1430
03:07
and I'll send you a quick follow up email later today about a contact at Amazing
49
187860
4500
03:12
Core. Now,
50
192360
1040
03:13
maybe you were talking to this person about how your business could help theirs.
51
193400
4920
03:18
In that case, you could end the conversation like this.
52
198530
3190
03:21
It was nice talking to you.
53
201970
1430
03:23
I'd love to send you some details about how we could help your company,
54
203540
3260
03:27
or if you shared a great idea about how you could help the company where you
55
207250
4550
03:31
already work, then say something like this,
56
211800
3240
03:35
Could we meet in the next few weeks to discuss how this new project could work
57
215160
4360
03:39
for our company and maybe set up a timeline for our work?
58
219520
4080
03:43
But you see the idea is that you close the conversation by
59
223820
4780
03:48
setting up an expectation of something that's going to happen after the
60
228600
4960
03:53
conversation,
61
233560
833
03:54
basically to move forward on the things that you discussed
62
234480
4960
03:59
together. Okay? And now we're here like to the exciting part,
63
239720
3200
04:02
because you've been through this entire series on how to improve your English
64
242920
4840
04:07
fast by identifying one specific thing,
65
247760
3400
04:11
breaking it down into all of the little parts that you need to
66
251630
4730
04:16
improve on individually,
67
256360
1360
04:18
and then putting it all together so that you have something
68
258100
4260
04:23
very simple, but they can have a big impact on your work,
69
263110
4690
04:27
on your confidence, on your English, on all of that. And as you saw,
70
267930
4670
04:32
we did it just one step at a time. And that's what makes it feel,
71
272600
4920
04:38
makes it feel possible, makes it feel easy.
72
278560
2680
04:41
So what does that entire pitch sound like from start to finish?
73
281410
4910
04:46
Let's wrap it up with a full example. Hi,
74
286640
3840
04:50
I'm Christina Robe. It's such a pleasure to meet you.
75
290480
2960
04:53
I'm a marketing consultant at PR Associates,
76
293660
2740
04:56
which specializes in helping businesses with their public relations.
77
296400
4800
05:01
We just finished helping Ecor create a community outreach program
78
301690
4110
05:06
and a PR campaign to promote it. And now you ask for what you want.
79
306300
4380
05:11
I'm really inspired with the work Amazing Core does,
80
311060
2740
05:13
and my team and I would love to help you create the kind of public relations
81
313900
4620
05:18
campaign that will allow your business to grow. And then of course,
82
318880
4440
05:23
you'll go away and you'll talk about lots and lots of things.
83
323320
2240
05:26
And then at the end of the conversation,
84
326480
2000
05:28
it was nice talking to you and I'd love to send you some more details about how
85
328810
4110
05:32
we can help your company. And there you have it.
86
332920
2280
05:35
That is your entire pitch from start to finish,
87
335200
2480
05:37
plus a little call to action to conclude the
88
337910
4730
05:42
conversation and double your chances of moving forward after
89
342640
4640
05:47
making that pitch.
90
347280
1120
05:48
And if you go over to my blog,
91
348740
3660
05:52
you can go back and review the other parts of this series. With all those.
92
352580
4180
05:57
Resources,
93
357200
510
05:57
you'll have everything you need to create your perfect pitch so you can feel
94
357710
4450
06:02
confident and you can use it again and again in so many different
95
362160
5000
06:07
situations. And now that that conversation is over,
96
367160
3600
06:10
you're going to have to follow up with the person.
97
370870
2610
06:13
And generally that's by email.
98
373740
2460
06:16
So now that you know how to pitch yourself,
99
376410
3030
06:19
go ahead and join me for my free interactive workshop on November 18th,
100
379810
4750
06:24
which is going to be all about emails in English and how to write the perfect
101
384560
4920
06:29
follow up email,
102
389510
1210
06:30
but also several other very common types of emails that you
103
390820
4900
06:35
write in English for your business.
104
395720
1880
06:37
And we're gonna do something really exciting that I've never done before
105
397600
4440
06:43
but I'm seen it done and I love the idea.
106
403120
2800
06:46
And it's basically taking actual emails from
107
406260
4820
06:51
real clients keeping them anonymous of course but
108
411080
4760
06:56
going through the email with you to analyze and correct it so that you can
109
416520
4960
07:01
see something typical from, let's say, a learner of English,
110
421480
4840
07:06
a business person learning English the emails they typically write.
111
426390
4690
07:11
I will go through those emails, correct them, analyze them, correct them,
112
431550
3970
07:15
and show you how to improve it so that you can improve your own
113
435740
4860
07:20
emails. It's gonna be really exciting.
114
440600
1760
