The elevator pitch is dead

The elevator pitch is dead

Long live the elevator pitch!

Take a peek at our latest blog. It will challenge you to be more effective in introducing yourself to others and should result in you reflecting on your value rather than how you spend your time. Its always a long term, relationship building process but having your opening gambit settled in your own mind is so important. So, how do you introduce yourself?

If you see the value of the work you do, you’re more likely to show it to others and to just be genetically enthusiastic, which I think leaves more of an impression than the actual words. I also think we should talk about what we do in a way that’s easy for others to understand, too many five-dollar words get used and they start to feel a bit meaningless.

Accidental, clumsy can be memorable. I have two clumsy examples which do doubt stuck in the mind of the recipients? One was in an elevator where I asked three C suit execs if they should really be in the same lift together! And I am sure Prince William will never forget my enthusiastic recommendation of the excellent pear drops as he bought his hot chocolate at Marshall Aerospace. ? ?
