Looking at the way the world works, people act like they barely have enough time to put down their cell phones or tablets long enough to do important things like eat and shower. Ask them to pay attention to something that\u2019s not important for more than 5 minutes? That\u2019s blasphemy! Too hard! Luckily, and I\u2019d guess out of necessity, the entrepreneurship and venture capital world has latched on to this idea of an <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">elevator pitch<\/span>. The story goes that at some point an entrepreneur got on this mythical elevator in some massive building in some huge city. Standing next to him just happened to be a key player in an investment firm that could provide said entrepreneur with venture capital. But, alas, he would only be in this elevator with him for 60 seconds! How could he tell him everything he needed to know to secure funding from his awesome company? It\u2019s no secret, and in the next couple paragraphs we&#8217;ll give you some tips to create a winner.<!--more-->  In an article for Microsoft Business, Steve Strauss stresses 5 tips that can help you create an effective elevator pitch.  <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Figure Out Uniqueness<\/strong> &#8211; The first is to figure out what is unique about what you do. An elevator pitch is an icebreaker and a marketing pitch all rolled into one. Since it\u2019s supposed to be short, it needs to immediately grab your listener\u2019s attention. Figure out your hook, usually whatever in your business that you feel gives you a competitive advantage. Do you make something that\u2019s better, faster, or stronger? Let your listener know.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep It Exciting<\/strong> \u2013 A good elevator pitch can only come from a good elevator pitch-er. See what I did there? The pitch is only going to be as good as the presenter. The listener is not only buying into your idea, but they are also buying into you. Give your pitch some personality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep It Simple <\/strong>\u2013 Remember, you don\u2019t have a lot of time. Don\u2019t try to appeal to every single person that you pitch to. Instead, decide on a clear, concise message and concern yourself with delivering that message as best you can.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Write It Down <\/strong>\u2013 Once you&#8217;ve figured out your message, write it down! It\u2019s easier to remember your thoughts when you put them on paper anyway. You can easily make changes to a pitch that is written down rather than trying to do it in your head on the fly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Practice, Practice <\/strong>\u2013 So you&#8217;ve considered the previous 4 points and have an elevator pitch ready to go. The only thing left to do is practice. It may feel weird at first, but keep doing it. Practice in your mirror, on your significant other, on your family; you can even use your dog! Once you get out in front of those people you really need to impress with your pitch, you\u2019ll be glad you practiced.<\/li>\n<\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elevator pitches are all the rage right now.
