Reasons for Writing an Elevator Speech
Milton Paris
Practice is the Key!
1. When time is tight you want to hit home as clearly as possible your business with the purpose of either those following up interested or your doing the same
2. To build more sales
3. To win more clients
I have noticed that when businesspeople do their 30-second elevator pitch, 85% make mistakes with their presentations. Here are some examples:
•Speaking longer than the 30-60 seconds allocated
•Including stories in pitch that have nothing to do with the subject
•Not facing the audience
•Reading from their notes
•No emotion when speaking
•Praising other business people
•Changing pitches from week to week
•Not prepared
•Attention men – keep your hands out of your pockets
Here is the correct way:
•Keep within your allocated time
•Stay focused on name of company, your title, what service your offer, how you can help, and who your target audience is
•Face the audience and have more eye contact with those present
•No notes – you should know all the information about your company
•Be proud of your company and show positive thinking
•Do not praise others while you are discussing you and your company; stay focused
•Keep your pitches uniform, unless you have a special announcement
•Boy Scout motto “Be Prepared”
•Listen to other elevator pitches.
