Shravan Shetty is a career coach who recommends developing an "elevator pitch" to concisely summarize your work as a coach. An elevator pitch is a short, engaging statement about your idea that can be shared in brief encounters, like an elevator ride, to generate interest. Coaches should craft an elevator pitch that rolls off the tongue easily and helps others understand how coaching differs from common perceptions of just advising or training, as coaching entails leading a unique process. Developing an effective elevator pitch is important for coaches to take opportunities to pitch their services whenever asked about their work.

2. Take a moment.
Think about what you will say when someone asks you what you do or
what working with a coach will be like.
In the film and television business people talk about having an elevator
pitch ready. An elevator pitch is just a short , sharp, motivating and
engaging summary of their TV or film idea.
It is for those moments , such as when you share a lift, when you meet
someone you want to influence.
You cant risk boring them and they are too busy to make an
appointment to see you.
So you briskly pitch your idea whenever you get the chance . A
successful coach needs to be able to do this too.

4. • What will your elevator pitch be ? Try writing down some options. The say
them out loud. Do they roll of the tongue easily ?
• Try them out with an honest friend or a family member. Do they get your
meaning ? Are they excited by the idea of coaching?
• The opportunity to pitch for coaching business is there every time someone
asks you what you do , so your first attempt should work as an answer to the
typical question? ‘ What do you do ?

5. • This elevator pitch is really important because an excellent coach leads a
process that differs quite a lot from the general common sense
understanding of what coaching entails . This is possibly because the first
ideas that come to mind when most of us think about ‘coaching ‘ are
examples from sport. The sports coach is the most well –known example
of a coach in action.
• So if you are a coach , are you a in action coach ready with you elevator
pitch ?
