Elevator speech

Elevator speech

  • it should tell a story about you
  • it gives to your listeners some facts about who you are and it shows how you are important to them. The person should want to know more about you
  • it must end with an opportunity to meet again: I will contact you again soon

How you sound and how you look

  • speak slowly so your listeners can understand you
  • use pauses
  • highlight information
  • body language
    confident, friendly, organised
    smile and make eye contact
    stand tall and add hand gestures to emphasise important points
    look natural
