Tell me about your company
First meeting with the owner of a dairy company in Jaipur; he leans back and waits.
They sayGo ahead, tell me about your company.
Strong replies
Happy to, in two minutes. First, can I ask what made you agree to meet? That way I talk about what matters to you.
Short version: we only place people in agri businesses, mostly field and plant roles. Before I go further, what's the hiring problem on your mind right now?
Why they work
Turning the invitation into a question means your pitch can be linked to his problem instead of being a general lecture.
A weak reply
Starting the company presentation from slide one. You talk for ten minutes without knowing what he cares about.
