The Perfect Pitch
The Elevator Pitch: What, Why and How?
Senko Duras  August 21, 2018

First impressions count, and with research showing that a  first impression is formed in just 7 seconds, it becomes necessary for businesses to 'wow' prospects right off the mark. Ultimately, if the first 7 seconds don't succeed in capturing the audience's attention, the rest of the meeting may as well not happen!  It's well worth taking the time to form a great elevator pitch, as your pitch can be used in a wide range of different marketing and sales scenarios. Most commonly, an elevator pitch is used at meetings, but there are other times when it can prove useful, including the Chamber Business Tradefaire, BASH networking events, conferences, and pretty much any time that someone asks, "what do you do?" You should never say no to an opportunity for lead generation! Click here
