The Elevator Pitch and Why EVERY Creative Needs One!

What if you just happened to be in the right place at the right time? 

You are a creative! Maybe you write short stories, music, play an instrument, sing or you're an entrepreneur who has the most incredible custom product. How often do you say Hello to new faces and new people during the week? 

We meet so many new faces online and in person, yet we rarely tell these new faces who we are and what it is that we do. 

Literally, you could be standing next to someone who has exactly what it is that you need in the next phase of your life! You could also run into someone who has been looking for exactly what you offer! They won't know unless you speak up!  And i know, introducing yourself at the market can sound trivial and insignificant but we really never know who we are standing next to! 

The Right Way 

 

Now, There is a right and wrong way to make new connections and introductions. Im not saying to harass your neighbors, or stalk people in the parking lot of Walmart. Those are methods i would not recommend, however, i do recommend every creative and entrepreneur has an Elevator Pitch! 

The Creatives Elevator Pitch

Studies show, we only have 27 seconds to make a good first impression. Yes, just 27 seconds!  The Elevator Pitch is an exciting, informative, straight to the point, introduction about who you are, what you do, how to contact/ follow you and WHY the person you are speaking to NEEDS to know you. 

Do you know WHO you are as a creative? Do you really believe in what you have to offer? Do you know HOW you want people to contact or connect with you? Do you have Consistent fees? Are your social media handles ALL totally different? Do you know what makes your brand/ product/ service special ( trust me, people ask.) YOU ARE A WALKING COMMERCIAL Your Elevator Pitch is a FREE commercial to push YOU and your business/ brand to make lasting connections! Soooo what are you waiting on? Create that Elevator Pitch! Don't be afraid to introduce yourself, but remember if you're going to do it, do it with FULL understanding of who you are and what it is that you offer! 

The Creatives Elevator Pitch is somewhat different from your ordinary Elevator Pitch.  If you would like support with building your Elevator Pitch and Speaking like a Pro, please contact us to set up a free consultation.
