# Corey Ganim's AI for Business Meetup Pitch

Corey Ganim @coreyganim Here's the exact pitch I'm giving at the end of my free AI for Business meetup. It takes 30 seconds and it isn't salesy. "Thanks so much for coming out. My name's Corey Ganim. I run a company called Return My Time, and I live here in Charlotte. If any of you are interested in a completely free AI assessment, where we sit down for 15 minutes and uncover one specific bottleneck in your business where AI can help, I'm happy to do that free of charge. I'll be following up with each of you individually. See you at next month's event." short, sweet, non-salesly. Two things are important here: 1) The free 15 minute assessment. Low friction, high value, and it feeds directly into my paid offers. 2) "I'll be following up with each of you individually." Now the text and email they get within 24 hours is expected, not cold. Network for 60 minutes. Teach for 30 minutes. Sell for 30 seconds. The follow up is how I expect to close deals, not some grand pitch from stage. 11:03 PM · Jul 19, 2026 356 Views 2 0 2 3 0 3
