Elavator pitch

Tammy,
I like the one the ean give all the time. He calls it the 2 minute pitch but it really only takes about 30 seconds.

I have a knack and a unique marketing strategy that enables me to find amazing deals that no one else can find. When I find these deals I would like to send them to you to see it's a match for you.

Maybe for sellers something like.
I have a uniqued marketing strategy for finding buyers willing to buy homes at any price range and any condition.

Give them your biz card and ask for theirs or their contac info.

Tammy,
When you talk to investors keep it conversational like you are talking to a friend. No one likes soliciting and no one likes to be solicited but everyone likes to network and make friends in this business. There are 2 things that you want to convey in that first conversation - 1. Let the investor know what you do and 2. What you can do for them. For example:

“…I am a real estate investor, I am currently looking for properties for other investors. I find deals that are below market value and sometimes I like to pass these deals on to other investors. I’m curious as to what you’re picking up right now?”

That's it! Keep it simple and put it in your own words so it's comfortable. You buy and sell properties. You can help them - they can help you. If you have the mindset of networking and making friends that you can pass good deals too then your list of investors will build and grow very quickly. Don't over think it, have fun with it! Challenge yourself, how many investors can I network with this week?

Good Luck!

Thank you! I had heard the one pitch, but I also like the sound of a more natural conversation. I agree that no one likes to be sold, but to network. I am not good at selling anyways, so natural is better. Thanks for your help guys.

Make sure you hand them your card!

Thank you mike; yes I received my cards today

Tammy:
Last night at my REA group, the speaker (an investor) gave us a great elevator pitch. Assuming you are in a situation where someone asks "What do you do?" He starts his answer by saying " I help people by..... (fill in the blank") In his case, he says that he helps people doing short sales. I've tweaked mine to say " I help people sell their unwanted real estate." I can give them the appropriate speech/ pitch after I have their attention.

Hope this helps...

Yes, I to agree to keep it simple. I talk to people all the time like they are my friend, even if I don't know them. It gives the other person a peace of mind that you are a sincere and willing to help them.

"....I am a real estate investor. I come across good deals all the time that I like to pass on to others. If I have a property that fits your criteria, I will let you be the first to here about by email or a quick phone call. If for some reason its not a good fit,then I will offer it to other investors who will."

Something like that, I let them know that I am here for them and willing to help them find that good deal.

Wishing all a succcess!

Shelly and Andy really good comments and ideas. I think that is more natural and gets your message across. Thanks, Tammy
