How to Write an Elevator Pitch |
An elevator pitch is a concise statement that summarizes who you are, what you do,
and why someone should be interested in what you have to offer. The urban legend of
the elevator pitch comes from the thought that it is supposed to be short enough to
deliver during a brief elevator ride. The goal is to be interesting enough to earn
a follow-up meeting. *Registration Required.* |
