Business Introductions -- Foibles and Fixes
Some people’s business introductions are a joy to listen to; they clearly articulate who they are, what service or product they offer, and who they provide it for. Their message is compelling, entertaining, and memorable. And others, well, do none of these things.

In his best selling book, The E-Myth Revisited, Michael Gerber said that most people fall victim to the most disastrous assumption anyone can make about going into business.
