A brief encounter on the elevator is the premise behind what the business world calls “the elevator pitch.” It is your 30-second marketing message. In this exercise, pretend that you have encountered a potential employer or career contact. You have 30 seconds to motivate the person to meet with you at a later time.
The elevator pitch must be a balance of fundamental facts about you as a professional. These facts should be packaged in an interesting and impressive way. Capture the listener’s mind and make a memorable, positive impact.
The pitch must be memorized. Deliver it in a spontaneous, enthusiastic, credible manner.
Principles of the Elevator Pitch
Purpose:
To portray in 30 seconds your skills, education, experience and/or abilities in a winsome way that will show how valuable you would be to an organization.
To capture the interest and respect of the person receiving your elevator pitch.
To secure an interview or a contact for your career search.
