Elevator Pitch

Short description of an idea, product, or company which explains the


concept in a way such that any listener can understand it in a short
period of time.

The name 'elevator pitch' reflects the idea that it should be possible
to deliver the summary in the time span of an elevator ride, or
approximately thirty seconds to two minutes.
KEEP IT SHORT AND SWEET
Your elevator speech is a sales pitch. Be sure you can
deliver your message in 60 seconds or less.

FOCUS ON THE ESSENTIALS


Say who you are, what you do, and what you want to
achieve.

BE POSITIVE AND PERSUASIVE


Your time is limited. Focus on what you want to do, not
what you don't want to do. Be upbeat and flexible.

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE


Deliver your speech to a friend or record it so that you
can be sure your message is clear.
DON'T SPEAK TOO FAST
This will only make it hard for listeners to absorb your message.
AVOID RAMBLING.
Therefore, it’s very important to practice your elevator speech.
Give the person you're talking to an opportunity to interject or
respond.
DON'T FROWN OR SPEAK IN A MONOTONE WAY.
Keep your energy level high, confident and enthusiastic. Modulate
your voice to keep listeners interested, keep your facial expression
friendly, and smile.
DON'T RESTRICT YOURSELF TO A SINGLE ELEVATOR PITCH.
Maybe you're interested in pursuing two fields — public relations
and content strategy, but you'll want to tailor your pitch depending
on who you are speaking to.
