What things do you need to do and accomplish if you had one minute to describe why you would be a good leader? Would you be able to talk the whole time or would you run out of things to desribe yourself. Being a leader takes on the spot responces, you must be able to persuade your new or current customers that you can take them to the top of the mountain. With no trust you will have no followers, with no followers you can not become a leader. So what things should you cover in the little time you have to impress the crowd/new recruits. The number one thing the leaders in class forgot were their names. How can you elect a leader who is nameless. The second big topic is confidence. Confidence can be expressed in many ways, like a few people in class even though they were out of things to talk about they kept the students intertained and most likely recieved the majority of votes. You must have accomplishments and be able to talk about them. Do not bore your audience but give them the truth and facts that might apply to them. When ending the conversation make sure to thank your audience and set up that next meeting.

It is very hard to stand out of the crowd especially when you are in a class with hundreds of people. I agree that it is very important to know exactly what to talk about. If you only have one minute to convince someone why they should pick you, you better have something great to say. Although a minute is not much time, you can quickly tell if that person is someone you would be willing to trust. Confidence is definitely important to portrey to the audience. If it looks like you know what you are doing and saying, most chances are that we will believe you. We would want to follow someone who has confidence in themseleves and in their abilities. The people who did get voted leaders of our class spoke well and had something to show for their accomplishments. These people were the ones that continued to talk about almost anything until their time was up. It is an extra bonus if they talked about anything entertaining. Laughter can get you pretty far. A very good lesson in business is to thank your prospect for their time and follow up with another meeting and be precise about when it will be. Great insight on this blog, couldn't agree more.
