13 Simple Ways To Handle “It Costs Too Much”
My ‘pitch’ in a one-on-one situation:
Networker: “So, what do you do?”
Me: “Well, lemme ask you this: What’s your ideal body? How it looks and what it can do.”
Networker: “I think it’d be great to lose 10lbs and run my first 5K race.”
Me: “That’s what I help you achieve!”
…and in a presenting-to-a-group situation:
“Hi, I’m Karina – Professional Fitness Nut at Ki Health & Fitness. I provide a friendly kick in the ass that inspires and empowers you to live a healthy life – once and for all!”
Thanks to Isabelle for helping me figure these out!
Great pitch, Karina!
This episode is one of my favourite episodes!
Glad you guys liked the episode…yes…it’s a great one!
So what do you do?
I am a Back-End specialist.
Really, what is that?
I help (business type) just like yours leverage proven marketing strategies to systematically increase their business.
Thanks Isabelle for this episode. Great talking points.

OK. My turn.
I bring a whole lot of attention to my clients.
“How do you do that?”
Video production: We work with our clients to identify their unique, one-of-a-kind stories. Then we produce videos that celebrate those stories. With online broadcasting, these videos cannot be ignored.
Thanks for your wonderful help in helping growing our business… and I did share it with my friends too.. going to work on how to make my speach more efficient…it makes so much sens
Two of my favourite people!
Thanks for this episode with Geoffrey, Isabelle! I especially enjoyed the ‘After Show’ segment. And you’re not the only one who has had her train of thought derailed during presentations! :-) I’ve been told that it’s because our brain is moving faster than our mouth can keep up with.
Cheers!
Aaaaah…you are too kind Cathy. Glad that you loved the episode and the “After Show” extra footage. Lots of amazing gems in there for SBOs. Yes…I totally agree that my brain is moving much faster than my mouth can keep up with…LOL! (and I speak pretty fast…so…can you imagine?) LOL!
Great show!
I loved geoff’s no-nonsense style of being yourself when you pitch. Nothing else is required in my humble opinion too.
Our company pitch is simple:
We make returning your unwanted purchases as easy as possible!
Just take a picture of your receipt with our mobile app and that’s it.
We will send you reminders and a copy of the receipt before it is too late to return the product back to the store.
Would love your feedback on this pitch Isabelle and others.
Balki, sounds like a great idea. How many clients/members do you presently have? I would love to know more about your business model…can you send me the link to the site?
Hi Isabelle – we have a few thousand registered users at this point.
the current business model is simple – fremium.
the free users get receipt organization and the return expiry reminders.
Plus and Premium users get a whole lot of goodies..
Please check-out the site at http://www.returnguru.com and hopefully it makes a little more sense.
thanks for the feedback!
Congratulations on a few thousands freemium users ;-) Would I would love to know is how many users in your Plus and Premium tiers? AND do you have an app for Android? The concept is very simple…yet…clever. I would have actually used it last weekend…so…I am probably going to give it a try.
Question: can I scan and keep track of my loyalty cards in there too? Would be nice to have that feature with an app like yours.
Cheers,
Isabelle ;-)
hey Isabelle – thanks for staying engaged. I just sent you a linkedIn invite (Balki Kodarapu). Once you accept, I will send you more information 1-on-1.
Some of the info I can share in public though:
- No, we don’t have an android App yet (just iPhone and windows phone for now)
- I love your idea about tracking loyalty cards within the app. would be a perfect compliment for receipts! we will definitely add that to the product backlog and release that feature soon!
Best
Balki
