Archive: Workshop your Elevator Pitch

[Michelle Berlin]

Hello,
Here is my elevator pitch…
“I work in clay and found objects to create OOAK shrines & shadow boxes filled with misfits, saints, jokers & fools” Does that sound intriguing? I want people to be curious enough to ask me questions about my work so I am trying to create a sentence that may open up a bit of back and forth dialogue.

Hi Michelle,

This pitch is intriguing and I like it, but think I’d cut the OOAK – it sounds like jargon and will make the pitch more difficult to say in your 30 seconds in the elevator.

Best wishes,

Beverley

I agree with Beverly – this pitch is awesome with the omission of your acronym and it elicits curiosity beautifully!!!

Hi Michelle,

Had me intrigued enough to look for your work on a website – I can’t find one though?!

Best wishes,

Pitch:

I paint symbols of strength, beauty, and diversity. My work is described as empowering, blissful, a smooth groove of neo-soul.

[Beverley]

Really like that, TaLisa. Well done!

TaLisa,

I think you have something ; “a smooth groove of neo-soul” sounds good and seems to invite a reply.

ditto on “smooth groove of neo-soul”– fun descriptor.
