I have been in the selling business for over 55 years and I haven’t worked a day in my life.
Over the years I have given many seminars to major and mid-size companies on 31 different subjects pertaining to sales, marketing and positive thinking. There is one subject that is always in demand and that is “How Can I Improve My 60 Second Elevator Pitch”? The definition of elevator pitch is a short summary of your service, product or company and how it adds value to customers.
It is a useful tool for communicating core information quickly that will hopefully yield you an invitation to have a longer conversation with potential clients down the road.
This 60 second pitch can be given to an individual when you meet them or when you go to a network group of business people and you are called on to discuss your services in 60 seconds.
In some cases, when you are called on to do a 30 second pitch, I would still give my 60 second pitch.
Make sure your pitch comes from your heart and don’t make it sound like a recording. Most of all please do not pull out a card and read from it. This will be an embarrassment for you and your company. Come prepared and make your statement.
Prior to coming to any network meeting you should practice at home your pitch in front of your wife and in front of a mirror. Watch your expressions to be sure you give a high and low on certain words about yourself and your company. The last person to practice in front of is your pet…if he runs while you are speaking, then you are in trouble.
I remember giving a seminar to 30 managers of assisted living facilities and asked each one to give their pitch. The one that stands out, to this day, was the gentleman who made his pitch singing opera.
Remember in logic you have a beginning, middle and a powerful ending. I want to leave you with a powerful sample of a 60 second elevator pitch:
