I once coached someone who dreaded networking. Their pitch was full of jargon and felt impersonal. We worked on making it more conversational and reflective of their personality. At their next event, he introduced himself with this:
“Hi, I’m Rahul, a storyteller at heart. I help brands craft campaigns that connect emotionally with their audiences. Recently, one of my projects boosted engagement by 40%. I’d love to hear about the projects you’re most excited about.”
That pitch didn’t just open doors—it sparked genuine conversations.
Your elevator pitch isn’t just a scripted introduction—it’s your chance to leave a lasting impression and showcase your unique value. It’s not about selling yourself; it’s about telling your story in a way that resonates.
Here’s a simple framework to craft your pitch:
Who You Are: Start with your name and a brief introduction.
Example: “Hi, I’m [Name], a [role] passionate about [specific area or impact].”
What You Do: Highlight what makes you stand out.
Example: “I specialize in [expertise], and recently [achievement] that [result].”
Why It Matters: Wrap it up with a purpose or call to action.
Example: “I love exploring opportunities to collaborate on [specific area], and I’d be excited to learn more about your work.”
Stepping up in your career isn’t just about nailing your pitch too. Now that you’ve identified your value,let me know if this helped you in building your elevator pitch!
