So, I always say, "create a pitch for every niche." Meaning, create a pitch for each of the things that you do. Then, if you are going to business networking events to find more business, it's great to ask the other person what they do first. That way, you'll know whether to give them your photography, web or publishing pitch. You're just letting them know what you do in a clear and concise way, not giving them the hard sell, so most people appreciate this. Audrey:

Sometimes it's easy to narrow down in a certain context (user group meetings probably mean "talk about the development work"). But otherwise? It turns into an essay.

I know that here in NYC there are more and more freelancers who need to be able to explain what they do in order to bring in more business and they've told me that they find the pitch to be a great tool. Bob: We can't take any credit for the chocolate teapot, though! Thanks for telling people about the Pitch Wizard.
