Create a killer Elevator Speech

An elevator speech is a concise and impactful summary of yourself or your idea, delivered in about the time it takes for an elevator ride (30 seconds). Here's the basic format:

1. Hook (5 seconds)

• Start with a captivating statement, question, or anecdote to grab attention.
• Highlight a problem you solve or a unique value proposition.

2. Introduction (5 seconds)

• Briefly state your name, title, or company affiliation.
• Mention your area of expertise or what you're passionate about.

3. Problem & Solution (10 seconds)

• Identify a specific problem your target audience faces.
• Explain how you (or your product/service) address this problem.
• Briefly mention your achievements or impact.

4. Call to Action (5 seconds)

• State your desired outcome clearly and concisely.
• Invite further conversation, request a meeting, or suggest next steps.

5. Delivery Tips:

• Speak confidently and clearly.
• Maintain eye contact and a friendly demeanor.
• Use natural pauses and vary your tone for emphasis.
• Practice beforehand to ensure you stay within the time limit.
• Tailor your speech to your audience and the situation.
• Use strong verbs and vivid language to create impact.
• End with a memorable closing statement.
