Additional speakers included Steve Howsare, Executive Director of the Southern Alleghenies Planning & Development Commission; Jeff Cramer, Chairman of the Johnstown Industrial Development Corporation; and Wally Burlack, Community Development Consultant, who discussed JARI's role in regional economic development efforts as a financing hub for small business, and as the lead in implementing the Vision 2025 framework.
Special thanks to Mount Aloysius College for sponsoring the Luncheon.
An "elevator pitch" is just what it sounds like -- a sales pitch for your company that's short enough to be delivered during an elevator ride. It's a new contact's first introduction to your company, and should give a good overview of what you have to offer. Further, you should know it cold. You probably already have an elevator pitch -- but are people understanding what you're trying to convey? In this interactive Lunch & Learn with Brian Law of Prime Design Solutions, you'll discover the secrets to an effective elevator pitch, and create and practice one of your own.
