WRITING YOUR ELEVATOR SPEECH

Identify your target audience. Where are you using it? With whom and for what purpose?

Write down the "deliverables" – the services or features that you provide, and the benefits your clients or customers derive from your services.

Choose an opening sentence that will grab the listener’s attention.

When you deliver your elevator speech, you want it to be Delivered effortlessly.

Authentic and something you’re comfortable with. People connect with people who are real and authentic.

Energizing. Tap into your passion. What do you love about what you do?


ACTION STEPS

Write it on a note card.

Record it and play it back - do you sound confident, sincere, engaging?

Practice on 3 people this week. What do they think?

Ask your friends and family for help.
