- Introduce yourself. This includes your name, pronouns, business name, or career title. You may also want to start with an attention grabbing first sentence.
- Make eye contact.
- Practice a power pose. Our body language says a lot about ourselves. Practice a stance that shows yourself in a confident and self-asserting way, i.e. shoulders back, standing or sitting tall.
- Include your mission statement, attributes you possess that make you unique, and what questions you are researching. What are your special skills? Who is your target audience? What problems are you trying to solve?
- Ask a question or follow up with a resolution.
- Practice with your family and friends. The more you feel comfortable with saying your elevator pitch out loud, the easier it will be for it to naturally flow and be authentic to you. It will also give you a chance to hear feedback from others, so you can go back and edit what you have.
