Nice tips. I’ve never used an elevator pitch but it sounds worth the effort of developing one and trying it out.

Thanks! -Scott Gilmour

I heard about elevator pitch about 8 years ago but still I don’t have any

I guess it’s time to make one and really apply it.

You know, the elevator pitch approach directly applies to a lot of blog posts. After reading this I just thought of a very good way to edit an existing post to make it obvious who my application is useful for. -thanks!

You know how some folks who don’t know what they want to be when they grow up often say they are thinking about going back to school?

Well what I do is work with them to help them discover their unique strengths and values so they can seize their freedom and build the business they were meant to run.

Interesting way of looking at it. I don’t know how I’d react to your elevator pitch to be honest, but if you can be smooth enough to deliver all that WITHOUT sounding like a salesman then good on you! Something for me to think about!

I couldn’t agree more. Your elevator pitch is one of the most vital parts of your networking efforts.

I have an elevator pitch that I use in my networking group. Each Friday we meet and before the meeting we each get up and give a 60-second pitch about our business.
My elevator pitch is always evolving because many of the people there are there every week so I have to keep things fresh, and in addition, my business model changes with the seasons, thus requiring a new 60-second sales pitch.

I admit: I don’t have an elevator pitch. I really should work on one (or two). I love explaining things. I’ve been a tutor so I really like going over the details with people. I need to practice being concise or I can turn a yes or no question into an hour long lecture.

This is a great way to generate new business or to meet new friends. I have to remember this when I get in a elevator.

Well I suppose I better find a way to get over being a shy guy!

I met the guy who wrote the original “Italian Job” – film with Michael Cain by the way. He told a great story about getting into a lift with his potential producer. They were just about to say yes to the screenplay on the agreement that the writer agreed to use Robert Redford for the lead.

Anyway the writer wanted Cain and dug his heels in. They got into the lift and by the time they reached the producer’s floor, the writer managed to persuade the producer to go with Cain!

The rest, as they say, is history!

I over heard someone explain their technique – they called it the 3ft Rule.

Basically when some one got within 3ft of them they told them: who they were, what they did, and asked did they want one.

I’ve applied it a few times and it works – to a degree, I think it needs a little more sophistication as you explain above.

I like the simple structure you put forward to creating the elevator pitch.

In my experience many people think they can just ‘wing it’ (i.e. make up their pitch on the spot).

Using this simple structure will take only a few minutes, so thanks.
