Your Elevator Pitch Might Be Costing You Opportunities — Here’s How to Fix It
In today’s fast-paced, hyper-digital world, attention is short—and competition is high. Whether you’re introducing yourself on a call, networking at an event, or reaching out via LinkedIn, you often have just seconds to capture someone’s interest.
That’s why your elevator pitch is more important than ever.
But let’s be honest: most people struggle to find the right words. Their pitch is either too long, too vague, or too focused on what they do instead of what makes them relevant. And in an age of constant scrolling, it’s getting even harder to place a solid hook and keep attention.
The good news? A compelling pitch isn’t just talent—it’s technique. And that’s something you can train.
In my “Optimize Your Elevator Pitch!” online course we designed a quick way to help you build a pitch that truly resonates. Here’s what you’ll learn:
