Wikipedia says “An elevator pitch (or elevator speech or elevator statement) is a short summary used to quickly and simply define a product, service, or organization and its value proposition. The name “elevator pitch” reflects the idea that it should be possible to deliver the summary in the time span of an elevator ride, or approximately thirty seconds to two minutes.”
I get asked all the time, “What do you do?”. I have a quick 30 second speech but it isn’t until I sit down with potential clients that I can really explain what I do. If you asked me today my speech would be, “My name is Ruby Stone, and my company is Stone Media Consulting. We help Passionate brands and companies with their on-line communications.
