30 Second Commercials

by Gloria Reisman

Your 30 second commercial is a concise description of your expertise and the benefits you provide to clients. Here are some sample "commercials".

"As a marketing rep, I help consultants reach the right clients, leverage their time, and achieve their business goals by applying my communication and marketing expertise."

"As a human factors expert, I help companies maximize the fit between new technology and the people who use it."

I recently asked an IT consultant to tell me what he did. This example shows you the iterative process we used to quickly capture his expertise in a 30 second commercial.

Version 1: (a dry start)

"I design systems by programming, testing, and designing large mainframe systems. I also create and update system documentation."

Version 2: (clear but needs to be jazzier)

"I help companies design large systems that are usable, efficient, and maintainable by applying my 30 years of business with my full life-cycle technical skills."

Version 3: (gives you a real feel for the benefit of his technical expertise)

"When I work on large mainframe systems for corporate clients, I'm the guy who gets involved in multiple levels of technical design. I'm called the "go to" person; the guy who avoids problems by anticipating business needs."
