ELEVATOR PITCH: YOUR 4 (+ 1) GOLDEN RULES
IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU
You're interested in your contacts first.
They are at the heart of the pitch.
K.I.S.S.
Keep it short and simple. Your pitch grabs attention and quickly demonstrates value.
If lengthy developments are necessary, you fall into the trap of explanation or even justification.
A GOOD STORY
Identify a key problem to be solved from your audience's point of view.
Suggest a motivating course of action and clear benefits.
THINK BIG
Beyond differences and affinities, the concepts you present bring people together and inspire them. They offer a grand and far-reaching vision !
Defend ideas, meaning, for today and tomorrow.
IT'S STILL NOT ABOUT YOU!
We adapt and adjust to each audience and situation.
In other words: never repeat the same pitch twice.
CONVINCE AND WIN OVER CUSTOMERS
"The brain is a machine for jumping to conclusions". Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kanheman, author of the book "Thinking fast & slow", demonstrates that our mind makes quick choices, even when it doesn't have enough information to make a rational decision. As a result, your contacts will rely heavily on intuition and weak signals. This can work in your favor... or not.
It's important to remember that your ability to convince will never be based solely on rational elements, and that it would be illusory to dissociate "content and form". The question is : in how far do you help the other party experience something inspiring ? Your ability to help them imagine, project and feel, on the one hand, but also your state of mind and attitude on the other, will be decisive in your ability to win them over.
To succeed, you'll need to combine storytelling, relational intelligence, situational intelligence and physical posture. And each of these parameters will nourish and reinforce the others!
