An elevator pitch lets you describe an idea, product or company concept in a short amount of time.
To create your elevator pitch, dissect what it is that you do, use your mission statement and your organization’s values. Paint a picture so people remember you and what you do.
Think through what it is you want to say. Be prepared, and use intentional language.
Use consistent key phrases and words that easily explain your capabilities.
Keep it short! Can you say it to someone you meet riding in an elevator?
Know your elevator pitch well enough that you can say it smoothly and still sound natural, not rehearsed.
Your elevator speech isn’t just for elevators! It’s for receptions, cocktail hours, meetings and more.
