Let’s see your porch pitch.
What’s your porch pitch?
“My what?” You ask.
I recently posted about using video to introduce yourself to your customers and prospects, and wanted to follow up on that today.
My friend Mike Sansone and I had a recent conversation about using video introductions (some dub them elevator pitches.) Mike’s thought was that we don’t really have all that much time to talk in elevators, and nobody really feels comfortable talking in elevators anyway… so why not call them something different. I saw a light bulb pop up over his head, and suddenly he had the name. A porch pitch.
Why not? I thought. Standing on someone’s porch is a lot more friendly and conjures up fond memories of days gone by when neighbors would drop by to introduce themselves to the new family on the block. (Anyone do that anymore?)
I liked it. Mike liked it. The name stuck.
Here’s Mike’s porch pitch. Where’s yours?

I have to say I am not suprised by Mike’s porch pitch, but I had never seen this video. Did you produce it Chris? If so, we need to talk!!
Hi Art! I did produce this (and a few others you can find on YouTube). Holler when you’re ready to talk! I’m sure we can put together some great stuff for you too!
