How to Write an Elevator Pitch

An elevator pitch is a brief, persuasive speech that summarizes who you are, what you do, and what you're looking for. It should take 30-60 seconds to deliver β€” about the length of an elevator ride.

The Perfect Elevator Pitch Formula

  • Hook (5 seconds): Start with something interesting that grabs attention.
  • Who you are (10 seconds): Your name, role, and area of expertise.
  • What you've done (15 seconds): A specific achievement or result that demonstrates value.
  • What you want (10 seconds): What you're looking for or how you can help.
  • Call to action (5 seconds): End with a question or next step.

When to Use an Elevator Pitch

  • Networking events and career fairs
  • Job interviews ("Tell me about yourself")
  • LinkedIn summary and professional bios
  • Cold outreach emails and messages
  • Meeting new colleagues or clients
