How to Make The Perfect Elevator Pitch

Everyone needs a great elevator pitch and few people have one. Plato said “Storytellers rule the world.” That is still true today. People remember your stories not your numbers.

What is the secret to pitching new customers to hire you and get referrals? Pitching with a clear, concise and compelling story is the key to breaking through all the noise in today’s digital environment. When you tell great stories you pull people in vs. the old school way of pushing your message out to people. According to John Livesay “When you tug on the heartstrings, people open their purse strings.” Before John leaves the stage, your people will… •Have a 90-second elevator pitch that has people saying, “That’s interesting, tell me more!” •Learn the THREE magic questions to get people to want to help you •Know how to be conversational versus giving a “monologue” in a social setting
