Hi Daniel - I chimed in at the very top, but you might have missed me. Nice job with your pitch - my biggest advice would be to LEAD with the pain point that you solve for people. And I'd love to see you include your tag line within your pitch, it's great!

Jim, sometimes the card will say, ENTJ. Particularly for those of us who have learning the extroverting skills to get along in this world.

OK, so you are a card-carrying INTJ. I want to see that card because I did not get one.

My elevator pitch needs improvement and Barbara is correct it does take some work.

Many times we get busy and fail to manage our choices and important items like an elevator pitch gets overshadowed by less important projects.

What incredible feedback Barbara - that people don't focus on communicating what they do and for whom until face to face! That winging it when networking is wasted time and might even be negatively affecting getting to a next step. Thanks for your comment.

Hi Pat - sometimes listening to unproductive elevator pitches can be cringe-worthy. I think the biggest problem is the lack of focus and concentration it takes to prepare an elevator pitch. I've had people tell me that they don't actually consider the fact that they need a high impact one until they're actually sitting in a meeting and asked to give one, and they end up just winging it. It's too bad when that happens, because having an opportunity to address a whole crowd rather than relying on just one to one connections is a great thing - it's always disappointing when there's no effort behind that opportunity. Good points, Pat!
