35 - Your Title Is Not What You Do — How to Introduce Yourself for Real Connection

Send a text

“I’m a realtor.” “I’m in insurance.” …and just like that, the conversation is over. In this episode, Tiffany and Donna break down one of the biggest networking mistakes people make—leading with a title instead of impact. Because titles are familiar… and forgettable. But when you clearly explain who you help, how you help them, and what changes as a result, people lean in, ask questions, and actually remember you. From real-life examples (including a dog park client win) to simple ways to craft your own “I help” statement, this episode will challenge how you introduce yourself and show you how to turn a basic answer into a conversation starter that leads to connection—and referrals.
