Elevator Pitch 101:

So, we've all heard of the elevator pitch, right? It's your 30 second opportunity to share your business in a captivating way while maintaining the listeners attention and keeping them begging for more. Here are some tips as you prep for The PITCH 2019:

1. Know exactly what you want to achieve.

Your elevator pitch should answer three questions: Who are you? What do you do? Where do you want to go, or what are you looking for? You need to know exactly what you want to achieve or no one can help you get there.

2. Bullet point it.

After studying your résumé and LinkedIn profile, write down four bullet points that explain why you're great!

Share your work history, background, skills, accomplishments, and goals. Leave out any irrelevant details that take away from your core message.

3. Tell a story.

People love stories. It also makes it easier for others to remember you later on.

5. Make sure it invites conversation.

After telling your story, the listener needs to be left wanting more. Is your story compelling enough to do this? If not, you need to change your pitch.

6. Time yourself.

While practicing your pitch, you should time yourself to make sure you can tell your story in 30 seconds. If you can't, cut down details and try again.

7. Record yourself on video.

You need to know what you look like to others while you're telling your story. Are you interesting? Are you believable?

People will come to their own conclusions while listening to you, so make sure you give off a good impression. Relax, act natural, and get comfortable with your story.

8. Pitch it to your friends and colleagues.

After you've got your story down, practice your elevator pitch with friends and colleagues. Ask them to give you feedback. Ask them what you should do to make it better.
