Agents, What's Your "Go To" script when meeting investors?

[Jerome Harrod II]

Hey BP,

I'm looking to update my "elevator pitch" for REIA Network Meetings and I'm in need for a couple ideas if you don't mind helping me out.

I'm no slick city speaker and I'm a way better email speaker, so here's my present elevator pitch:

"Hey there, I'm Jerome, an Investor Agent helping new and old investors make money out in Pasadena Maryland. Nice to meet you. What's your name?"

and that's it. Lame, I know. So, What do you say when networking? Join the fun lol

I dont use scripts or elevator pitches.  In fact Im sort of the opposite...Im selective about who I work with. Im not trying to sell my services to someone, but rather finding out if the other person is worth my time to work with.  I think if you turn things around, and have that mind set it will help you grow your business quite a bit.

 I can respect that. I was just wondering about good ice breakers you use when networking, how you guys present yourself when asked the inevitable "What do you do". 

 I dont need an ice breaker when people ask me what I do. "Im a real estate agent and investor"....then they have 1,000 questions to ask me.  Everyone I meet wants to ask me about the market, or do you flip houses, or do you hate being a landlord etc.
