Picture this: You step into an elevator, and right after you steps in a well-dressed woman. She looks familiar, and as you squint your eyes you realize she is the CEO of the company where you’ve always wanted to work, a woman who you once met earlier in your career. She presses the button for floor 43. Can you tell her who you are, what your goals are, and leave a memorable impression before the elevator stops? The answer, of course, is yes – if you have a good elevator pitch!
This guide will give you the tools to craft a winning elevator pitch. It will take you through the elements of an elevator pitch, how to draft and practice the pitch, and how to deliver it successfully to anyone, whether it’s the CEO in the elevator or a person you bump into at a networking event.
