               « Elevator Pitch »




Know how to pitch yourself
in less than 2 minutes and 120 words…




Copyright www.christine-morlet.com     2010
Personal branding: 6 key questions to ask
  yourself to prepare your elevator pitch
1. What is the focus of your speech? What is THE key message you
   want people to remember about you?

2. Who is the target person to make a hiring decision about you?

3. What are the problems faced by your target audience?

4. What is it that you are offering that would solve these problems?

5. What is it that differentiates you and makes you different from your
   peers?

6. What are the benefits of your speech (you offer) as experienced by
   your target audience?

   To create your elevator pitch, you now must put these elements
   all together in a 2 minutes and 120 words presentation

Call to Action: if they show interest, ask for a meeting!

           Engagement: an open ended question starter…

           Solution: what’s your offer? Keynote, workshop, master class…

           Content: the customer benefits in one short sentence (25 words)!

           Lead-in: Who are you? Your target, your vision…




                                       Facts     Future

Summary

Start with a killer summary sentence (25 words
max!)
Don’t get lost in the how, focus on the “WHORU”
Memorize it and rehearse it (rehearse, rehearse,
rehearse…)
Listen to the audience (God has given us two
ears and one mouth!)
