Imagine meeting a potential customer in an elevator. What would you tell them? How would explain, in less than 30 seconds, the value proposition of your company and why they need to buy your product or hire you?

This is what a basic elevator pitch is all about. You have to be quick, concise, and in tune with the cues of the person in front of you.

I would agree with the majority of these views. I often work at trade shows and exhibitons and a good elevator pitch can be the key to a successful show.

The one thing I would add about a successful pitch is to not be too technical about your product/service straight away- although you may be an expert in your field, don't assume the person listening is!
