Mastering the Elevator Pitch

Powerful Women Rising - A Business Podcast for Female Entrepreneurs

In this episode, we're diving into one of my all-time favorite topics: The Elevator Pitch (aka your 30-second commercial)!
This topic is surprisingly controversial, and I've got a unique perspective on it that differs from the norm. Join me as I unpack the pros and cons of elevator pitches and offer some starting points if you're new to crafting one.
I'll be blunt about what I dislike about traditional elevator pitches and offer up some simple tweaks you can make to transform your introduction into a genuine, impactful connection-builder.
Say goodbye to the robotic script and hello to conversations that leave people eager to connect and refer you to others!
