Elevator Pitch: Summary

00:01 Thanks for being a part of this course on how to deliver an elevator pitch.

00:05 It's a fantastic skill to have.

00:07 You need it and will be able to use it throughout life.

00:10 I hope you've taken away a few basic concepts here, which is focus on something interesting you have to say that will be seen as an instant benefit to the person you're pitching.

00:21 Really simplify it.

00:24 Get to the point quickly and focus on one idea.

00:27 Don't try to educate the person on every single thing your business or your organisation does.

00:32 Focus on one thing, whet their appetite, and don't lose sight of the goal.

00:37 The goal is to get an actual meeting so you can go into much more detail because that's where the real sell will take place.

00:44 That's where you'll get the contract done.

00:47 It's not all going to happen in that 30 seconds.

00:51 So please don't forget the most important tip of all, and that is to practice your elevator pitch on video until you love it. I think I know lots about public speaking and presenting and elevator pitches, but you actually know the most about what works for you, what you like, and what you don't like.

01:13 And that's why I'd strongly recommend Don't Give an elevator pitch until you practiced it on video and you like it.

01:21 Do that. You'll be in great shape.

01:23 Good luck with all of your elevator pitches in life.
