You never know when you might run into someone and have the perfect (if short) opportunity to talk up your business. Make sure your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/313574\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">elevator pitch is pitch-perfect<\/a> with these quick tips.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Keep it simple<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Elevator pitches are short by definition. This isn\u2019t the time for your full pitch deck. Keep your pitch short and sweet. If you have a key feature that differentiates your product, mention it. But keep rundowns of features to a minimum. Focus on what your product enables people to do, not how your product does it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Don\u2019t sound too sales-y<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Elevator pitches are about selling your product of course, but you don\u2019t want to sound too sales-y. An artful elevator pitch is all about the quick win. Say just enough to get someone interested. They\u2019ll either ask for more details, or you can set up a meeting and continue the conversation later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Narrow down your idea<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Can you describe your business in one sentence? If you can, that one sentence is probably a great kick-off for an elevator pitch. If not, work on that. A great way to narrow down your idea is to ask friends and family to describe your business or product. It will give you insight into what outsiders see as important, and help focus on the core idea that drives your business.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) Practice your pitch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A great elevator pitch should simply roll off your tongue. If it doesn\u2019t, then practice it until it does. Aim for a conversational tone, rather than a rehearsed one. Once you\u2019ve written your elevator pitch, don\u2019t forget to practice actually speaking it aloud. Try it out on friends and colleagues, and take their feedback seriously. That way when a real opportunity to use your elevator pitch presents itself you\u2019ll have already perfected it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) Use numbers (wisely)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Numbers can be very persuasive, and when used in an elevator pitch they can add weight to what you are saying. If you have a great stat about your business use it. But too many numbers in a short amount of time can quickly overwhelm your listener. Toss out one great number, and be ready for a couple more if they ask follow-up questions.<\/p>\n<p>RingCentral knows communications.
