Do you know of any sites that don't require you to put down your personal information?

This is also known as the 'Elevator Pitch' (I'll try come back with some more info about this)

Give The Pitch Wizard a go, it's quite useful for focusing your mind towards a very brief pitch, as it reminds you how to start, continue and end a pitch, and how to give a brief intorduction of yourself to potential clients.

I used to be very wary of signing up and giving my e-mail address, but I'm coming around to it for signing up for newsletters etc. which can be very useful.

It would be good to have a resource to figure out my 'elevator pitch' but I just a wary about having my inbox flooded with messages, but I guess I will give it a shot.

You can use the wizard to create the pitch - it doesn't require you to sign up. Once done, I just copied/pasted into a text doc and didn't "save" it to their database.

Hi Jenny:

If you don't want to give out your normal email, create another one just for things that you want information on but don't want to be bombarded with in your normal box. gmail is a good service to use for that... its quick, easy and free!!

I have been trying to gather my thoughts on the 'pitch'. This site should really help.
Thanks

Wow! I was not sure what the outcome would be but when I was done....I think I really shocked myself. I have been trying to work on something like this for quite a while now. This site helped me hit it right on the nail. Thank You, Louise!
