An elevator pitch is a brief, informal speech or presentation that is used to market and promote individuals and businesses. Elevator pitches were once only used b those who were starting their own business and looking to approach venture capitalists for funding. However, this kind of presentation is beneficial for just about anybody who wants to promote themselves and their skills, and is also helpful to those who are unemployed or recently out of college and beginning their job search. A brief, preconceived elevator pitch can help you network with other business professionals, find potential funding and employees, add to your existing network of business professionals and colleagues, as well as help you to land that job that you have been searching for.http://www.personalbrandingblog.com/how-to-write-your-60-second-elevator-pit­ch/1


The term elevator pitch is derived from the fact that these kinds of presentations were once given while riding the elevator up or down in business complexes or office buildings. Although these kind of detailed introductions no longer have to be given in an elevator, they should still be very brief. While there is not specific format or guidelines for any particular elevator pitch, the ideal elevator pitch should be less than 130-140 words, or capable of being presented in less than 45-60 seconds. Because so much vital information must be presented in such a short period of time, it is important to try to devise the ideal elevator pitch ahead of time for maximum effectiveness.
