I recently found a networking site that is relatively small but seems to cover a wide variety of industries. I plan to attend their meetings, but I'm also thinking of offering to give a little talk (I HATE public speaking!) on what a virtual assistant is and what they can do for the small to medium size business, non-profits, and individuals (my target market).

I haven't made the offer, and I don't know that my offer would be accepted. But just in case it is accepted, any one have any ideas of what a 5-10 minute talk should/could cover.

What kinds of materials (business cards natch!) I could bring along to sell myself and our industry.

One part of me is excited. I don't have a problem with--well maybe I do--presenting if I get enough practice in before the Day--but I know if I do a good job, perhaps I will somehow get that first (paying!) client. And since I plan to retire from my high paying job the end of the year, I really want and need to get real clients.
