A ‘Giving’ 10 Minutes

25/2/09

At a recent chapter visit I was lucky enough to experience one of the best 10 Minute presentations I have ever seen. It wasn’t great because of the props used - there weren’t any - nor because the member was an amazing performer, nor because of an eye-catching PowerPoint slide show, and not even because the content was stunning, but because of its simplicity and what was given.

The presentation was delivered in three sections and it was the middle part that really got my attention. The member talked about his customers and what type of business sector they were in. He then told us that he had been through his current client base and had 305 active accounts. At this point he turned over to a new flip chart sheet and on it was a list of his customers by sector. He then asked everyone to study the names and if they wanted introductions into any of them he would do his best for them.

What an offer!

I have to say that I was more than a little impressed. At a time when he could have been doing his utmost to educate the chapter on how to find him referrals he was using his time to help his fellow members.

A real ten out of ten 10 Minutes!
