How To Make The Perfect Elevator Pitch

How To Make The Perfect Elevator Pitch
Everyone needs a great elevator pitch and few people have one. Plato said "Storytellers rule the world." That is still true today. People remember your stories, not your numbers. Do you wish you could tell people who you are, what you do, and why you do it in a way that has them say "That's interesting … tell me more?" Can you pitch your vision for your company so you can attract the best players for your team? What is the secret to pitching new customers to hire you and get referrals?

Pitching with a clear, concise, and compelling story is the key to breaking through all the noise in today's digital environment. When you tell great stories, you pull people in vs. the old school way of pushing your message out to people. According to John Livesay, "When you tug on the heartstrings, people open their purse strings."
