How to Write an Elevator Pitch That'll Score You New Business
Saying the wrong thing could cost you thousands..
As a small-business owner, generating revenue is your responsibility, so along with all the
other challenges you face in business
, you also have to invest time and effort into securing clients. One way to drum up new business is to deliver an effective elevator pitch 00 a 30- to 60-second speech that compels prospective clients to learn more about your business.
It might seem like an old school idea, but spend time creating the best elevator pitch possible, and you'll find that it pays dividends. Land clients, tap into new markets and
build wealth -- using other people's money
