Hone your simple pitch

• You need to be easily understood
• They need to be able to repeat it and talk about you (in the way you want them to talk about you)

Tips

• Try everything, stick with what you like
• People need to see you as a full person they really want to work with, not some random freelancer
• If you want referrals, make others the hero
  • Rephrase it as an offer to help (rather than asking for a client)
• Scale up with partnerships
