Do you know what an elevator pitch is?
Before talking about how to write a good elevator pitch, firstly, let’s talk about what one is. An elevator pitch is a brief, persuasive speech that you use to spark interest in what you do. A good elevator pitch should last no longer than a short elevator ride of 20 to 30 seconds, hence the name. However, up to a minute is acceptable. They should be interesting, memorable, and succinct. It is also a great way to start conversations at networking events.
