Entrepreneurs and Business Professionals: Talk is cheap. But yours shouldn’t be.

It’s time to Talk-your-Walk and attract more clients, contracts and cash with your pitch

If you…

  • Get queasy and draw a blank when someone asks you to tell them about your business
  • Feel that if you can just do a better job talking about what you do, people would get it and buy from you
  • Can’t get the right attention at networking events or get the sales meeting
  • Become frustrated with being lumped in the same category as every other business owner CPA, lawyer, massage therapist, you name it
  • Find that people glaze over or don’t take you seriously when you tell them what you do
  • Are ready to master your sales message versus mumbling your requests…

Then it’s time to learn how to talk your walk AND pitch to win. But first, who am I and why should you care?

speakingMy name is Désirée Young. Since 2004, I’ve equipped entrepreneurs become the best marketers and managers of their messages.  I’ve acted as a pitch and presentation coach and helped entrepreneurs win and attract anywhere from $20,000 to over $500,000.  My products have enabled dozens to win pitch contests, get capital for their causes and attract loyal clients.

I’ve been hired by companies like Capital One Bank to coach business owners on how to pitch and present to panels of banking and financial professionals.

And I’ve even been fortunate to present to packed-out conferences and seminars on the topic of pitching and selling.

But still I know there’s a problem.

Business owners, professionals and managers simply suck at communicating what they do and why it matters.

And truth be told, if you can’t tell, you can’t sell.

Your work is special and unique. But no one understands it, they’re not buying and you’re paying a hefty price – no money!

Or maybe they’ve put you in the ‘me, too’ box and compare you with others they believe do the same thing. It’s not your fault, you haven’t been instructed on how to say what you do in a way that gets attention and makes people want to take action.

Talk-Your-Walk Testimonial: “I was finally able to communicate a very complex idea.”

VentureWalk has made the difference for me and my company. I was finally able to communicate a very complex idea, make it easier to understand and help others to appreciate why it matters and why it’s a viable business. Most importantly, working with Désirée has helped me to run and market my business better. I would recommend this service to anyone that needs to communicate with clients in a way that’s effective.  Elizabeth Shephard, Founder of Life City, winner of 2012 CED Pitch Competition

PitchtoWinGraphicJoin me for a 3.5-hour Done-WITH-You group session where you will:

  • Learn about the 4 pitch personas, take my assessment to identify which one you are and how to use it to easily interest and convince people
  • Develop your concise 10-second answer to “What do you do?” that will peak interest and create cash conversations
  • Finally, create your 30-second clever, compelling elevator pitch that naturally attracts your ideal clients and gets them to ask how to work with or buy from you
  • Identify and finalize sales (or funding) talking points so you’re always prepared to close the next deal
  • Understand why explaining your service OR product is the quickest way to KILL your sales efforts
  • Walk away with the confidence AND content to tell and sell

This is bigger than another boring training seminar where you sit, take notes and leave with a lot of fluff and stuff. You will practice and preach. In other words you’ll develop the key points of your story, get comfortable talking about it and practice to get people to pay attention and take action.

Talk-Your-Walk Testimonial: “I didn’t always communicate things effectively because I assumed everyone got it.”

Désirée of VentureWalk is a master at helping you master your message. At the end of the day, I know my business better than anyone else but that also means I didn’t always communicate things effectively because I assumed everyone got it.  She was very helpful in getting me to refine my pitch and making sure I communicate the important points and key aspects of my business to ensure I had the best possibility of being funded. And it worked! Benardett Jno-Finn, Founder of Senica, Winner, CED Pitch Competition

So why do you need this Talk-your-Walk session?

Even if you’re not regularly around people or doing face-to-face networking, there are more ways to use what we will cover. I’ve helped business owners use this same info to:

  • feel more confident at networking socials and public functions
  • know what to say in sales conversations to ensure you meet win-win outcomes
  • develop marketing pieces like website copy; social networking profiles and posts and even scripts for radio, t.v. and video
  • hand off to a business development, customer representative or sales person hired to help sell for you

Who is this session for?

I could say everyone, but I won’t. It’s easier to say who this workshop is NOT for, it’s not for:

  • the person content with remaining a best kept secret
  • anyone who isn’t ready to come out of hiding and put themselves and their business in the fore-front
  • professional sales people or those in multi-level marketing – these roles are better served elsewhere
  • business owners (such as brick and mortar retailers) who never have direct contact or communication with potential customers or influencers

Talk-Your-Walk Testimonial: “She showed me the difference… in getting you to ‘get it”

Désirée is a woman of infinite patience and good advice. I had the pleasure to work with her in preparation for an event. She showed me the difference between the idea of helping a person develop a strategy for public speaking and actually making the difference in getting you to “get it”. Karen Gadbois, Co-founder, The Lens


Of course you can continue to wing-it. And go it alone on saying what you sell and hope that the next time you find yourself at an event with people that can make the difference in your business you magically know what to say.
ORYou can make this small investment in your business, your idea, your product, your service and your career…Stop hoping it will get figured out and tackle this head on.
