How is this different from an "Elevator Pitch"?
A traditional Elevator Pitch is stiff and usually too broad and vague to deliver much value or be compelling to a specific audience. Talk Tracks are customized to zero in on the unique value you provide to your specific audience - they make your first impressions ZING. An impressive Talk Track will create more follow up opportunities, more memorable impressions, and help you quickly pre-qualify your connections.
