Here’s a 30 second elevator pitch to help you craft your own elevator pitch. Ready, set, go!
- Clarity is King
In the realm of elevator pitches, clarity reigns supreme. Your time is limited, so get straight to the point. Who are you, what do you do, and why should they care?
- Personalize and Connect
Generic is forgettable; personalized is memorable. Frame your pitch in a way that resonates with your listener. Show how your skills or product can solve their specific problem.
- Leave Them Wanting More
An effective elevator pitch isn’t a monologue; it’s the opening line of a dialogue. Aim to pique their interest enough to ask you to elaborate. That’s when you know you’ve nailed it.
