Top Ten Tips for Creating a Memorable Elevator Speech

1 – Know who you are trying to reach or influence.  Understand the specific needs and concerns of your target audience, customer, or client.

2 – Have the end game in mind at the beginning.  What result do you want from the conversation?

3 – Keep it brief.  If you can’t capture their attention in the first 10 seconds, continuing to talk won’t help!

4 – What’s in it for them?  Why should they care about what you have to say?

5 – Talk about your results, not the process.  If I ask you what time it is, don’t tell me how the watch works!

6 – Listen and ask relevant questions.  The best way to generated interest in others is to be interested in them.

7 – Elevators speeches are not data dumps. Don’t try to tell them everything about everything!

8 – Make it intriguing.  You want them to say “Oooh, tell me some more about that!?

9 – Test it and refine it.  How are people responding? Are you getting the results you want?

10 – Keep it fresh!  If you are bored with it, imagine how your audience feels!

Colleen Payne, was one of about 70 people who attended the White House Women’s Entrepreneurship Conference on Monday in Washington, D.C. Colleen joined a mix of business owners, women’s leaders, Obama administration officials, academics and lenders to discuss the critical challenges, opportunities and solutions involved in moving the women’s business agenda to the next level. Colleen received an unexpected e-mailed invitation last week to attend the conference from the White House Council on Women and Girls, the Small Business Administration, the Department of Commerce and the Treasury Department.

The White House Council on Women and Girls aims to ensure that federal agencies take into account the particular needs and concerns of the female demographic. Colleen, like others attending the conference, took part in break-out sessions where participants shared ideas on how the government could help female-owned businesses and improve their access to loans, which was identified as one of the biggest obstacles for women entrepreneurs.
