[AccessD] OT: Elevator Speech

Not sure this is so OT, but here are a couple of tips.

1.  Start with "You know ..."  as in "You know how you need a list of
customers at a moment's notice?"

2.  Then, "Well, I make that not only possible but easy, and here's
how...."

Subject: [AccessD] OT: Elevator Speech

For everyone who is a self-employed developer - my question is, how do
you describe what you do?  My business has traditionally been word of
mouth, but recently I have found myself needing to market.  At the
techie events they have no problem knowing what I do - but to the small
business owner I've been struggling - any insights on how to describe
database development in 30 seconds to the lay person you want as a
client is welcome.

Thank you,
