Inigo Montoya – Masterclass on introducing yourself

by | Aug 31, 2018 | Favourite Quote, Open Leadership

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. Remember Inigo Montoya: Polite greeting, name, relevant personal link, manage expectations.

Such a fun meme that went viral a while back, and now my post on this theme is by far the most viewed on this daily blog on leadership.

Hmm, so now let me try this out, using the example of introducing myself to someone I am being referred to by an existing client, where they are making the introduction as they feel that person may be someone who could benefit from working with me.

“Hello. {polite greeting} My name is Tom McCallum. {name}

My client and your friend suggested we meet as they tell me you are a business leader who is hungry and ready for “What’s Next”. {relevant personal link}

I only work with such people. Let’s talk bravery. {manage expectations}”

Challenging, perhaps, though a little less so than” you killed my father, prepare to die!

Hey, I’ll take any excuse to gratuitously reference one of my all-time favourite movies 🙂

There is a serious point here though, I love the simplicity of the four-step process.

How do you introduce yourself?

Oh, and now I’ve introduced myself, please go to my home page and see how closely you fit with those who choose to work with me, then I’d love to meet on a video call. Book yours here.
