Elevator Speech

About this training

Elevator speech or elevator pitch means conveying your message in a brief, clear and compact manner.  This is indispensible for all persons who at times happen to feel the need to explain things in a concise way, in order to get to the essentials of an issue.  
Elevator talk is also essential for networking and it is a useful tool for establishing fruitful contacts with potential prospects. Elevator talk opens doors for you.
A powerful and impactful elevator pitch will enable you to leave a professional and lasting impression and will improve your chances for success.  In this practice-oriented workshop you will learn how to create your own successful elevator speech, and to convey it to others in a convincing way.

Program

The program includes the following modules:

  • Short and powerful exercises on distilling the essential out of information
  • How to summarize an existing presentation composed of 20 slides into a presentation consisting of only 5 essential slides
  • Elements of persuasion
  • Aspects of body language

Although some principles used in presentation techniques also apply here, this is not at all a training course on presentation techniques. It is however a good supplement to it. The whole program is built around cases submitted by yourself (or by your management).
