A client, colleague, friend, or referral partner may know someone who could benefit from your work. The opportunity starts with helping them understand who you help—and making the introduction easy. **To make it easier for people to refer you, create a clear PitchCard, add a short pitch video, get feedback from people you trust, and share your card where you already connect. When you’re ready to take a more proactive approach, try a Referral Sprint with a referral partner.** Pitch59’s Success Playbook brings these actions together in five steps. Here’s how each one helps you give your network a clearer, simpler way to introduce you. ## What is a PitchCard? A PitchCard is a shareable introduction tool from Pitch59 that helps communicate who you are, who you help, and how you help them. You can include a short pitch video to introduce yourself in your own words. For someone making a referral, your PitchCard gives them something to share alongside a personal introduction. For the person receiving it, it provides a place to begin learning about you. For a closer look at what you can include, explore [what a PitchCard is and how it works](https://blog.pitch59.com/pitch59-blog/what-is-a-pitchcard). ## 1. Create your PitchCard **Start by making it clear who you help, what you help them do, and what they should do next.** Create your PitchCard in the Pitch59 app or at [pitch59.com](https://pitch59.com/). Use the AI-Pitch Creator to get started, then edit the wording so it sounds like you. Specific language gives people something concrete to remember. Compare “I help businesses succeed” with “I help small business owners organize their bookkeeping so they can understand their finances.” The second example makes it easier to recognize someone who might benefit from an introduction. As you review your card, ask yourself: - Who is my service for? - What problem do I help solve? - What is the next step for someone who wants to connect? Your card should give someone enough understanding to start a conversation. You can explain the details as that conversation develops. ## 2. Add a short pitch video **Use your pitch video to tell people who you help, how you help, and what to do next.** Remember, this is not a sales pitch, it's an elevator pitch, and yes, [there is a difference](https://blog.pitch59.com/pitch59-blog/elevator-pitch-vs.-sales-pitch). A short video gives someone receiving your PitchCard a chance to hear directly from you. Your voice, personality, and explanation can add context to the introduction they received. Keep your message focused. A simple starting structure is: “Hi, I’m Mandy. I help entrepreneurs get more referrals with less effort. If you’d like a simpler, more effective way to ask for referrals, send me a text.” Adapt that structure to your own words. Speak as you would when meeting someone for the first time, and choose one clear invitation to end on. The goal is to help the right person understand why connecting with you could be useful. For practical tips on your message, delivery, and recording setup, read [How to Create a Video Pitch That Actually Connects](https://blog.pitch59.com/pitch59-blog/how-to-create-a-video-pitch-that-actually-connects). ![Let People Hear it From You](https://blog.pitch59.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Feature%20Image%201-1.png?width=600&height=350&name=Feature%20Image%201-1.png) ## 3. Get a fresh perspective **Share your PitchCard with two or three people you trust, then use their feedback to improve it.** You know your work well. Someone seeing your card for the first time can help you spot details that need more explanation. Instead of asking only whether they like it, ask: - Who do you think I help? - What do you understand about how I help them? - What feels unclear? - Would you know when to introduce me to someone? Listen for patterns. If several people misunderstand the same point, revisit that wording or part of your video. This step helps you check whether the message people receive matches the message you intended to communicate. To take your review further, use the questions in [Are You Referable? 7 Self-Check Questions for Business Owners](https://blog.pitch59.com/pitch59-blog/are-you-referable). ## 4. Share where you connect **Put your PitchCard in the places where people already meet, hear from, and follow up with you.** We recommend adding your PitchCard to your email signature, social accounts, networking follow-ups, and [more](https://blog.pitch59.com/pitch59-blog/15-places-to-share-your-digital-business-card). Give people a reason to open it. After a conversation, you might say: “Great connecting with you today. Here’s my PitchCard for a quick introduction to who I help and what I do.” When someone introduces you, your card can support the context they’ve already shared. A personal explanation of why the connection could be useful helps the recipient understand its relevance. Start with one place you already communicate regularly, then build from there. Need help with the message that accompanies your link? See [How to Share Your PitchCard in a Way People Actually Click](https://blog.pitch59.com/pitch59-blog/share-your-pitchcard-in-a-way-people-actually-click) for examples you can adapt. ## 5. Try a Referral Sprint **A Referral Sprint is a focused, 15-20 minute call or meeting where two professionals share each other’s PitchCards through relevant, warm introductions.** This is an optional next step once your card is ready to share. A Referral Sprint creates dedicated time to think about useful connections. Each partner considers people in their network who could benefit from meeting the other professional, then makes introductions during the session. That is a proactive approach to referrals: making a relevant connection before someone is necessarily facing a buying decision. The PitchCard is the tool you share. The Referral Sprint is the activity you do together. Keep the introductions thoughtful and relevant. Afterward, follow up with every referral and thank your partner for each introduction.

Explain who you help, how you help, and what someone should do next. Use clear, conversational language that someone unfamiliar with your work can understand. ### Where should I share my PitchCard? Start with your email signature, LinkedIn, and networking follow-ups. Add a brief message explaining why you’re sharing it. ### Do I need to do a Referral Sprint to use a PitchCard? No. You can create and share your PitchCard in everyday conversations and follow-ups. A Referral Sprint is an optional way to set aside time for proactive introductions with a referral partner. ## Start with one share today Begin by creating or reviewing your PitchCard. Make sure it explains who you help, add your short video, and ask someone you trust for feedback. Then share it with one person.
