The Dreaded Elevator Speech - Important For Job Seekers And Attorneys
Life today is hectic and so is business. Everyone is in search of ways to make quick decisions on minimum information. Whether you have a business, work in a business or are looking for work you need to have a quick way to introduce yourself and grab someone’s attention. Hence – the elevator speech or the 30 second introduction.
Why is it called an “elevator speech”? Suppose you are in an elevator and the person next to you says, “What do you do?” Using your elevator speech enables you to answer that question concisely in the time it takes for the elevator to get to the person’s destination floor.
