How To Get The Perfect Elevator Pitch

HOW TO GET THE PERFECT ELEVATOR PITCH By John Livesay

Plato said “Storytellers rule the world.” That is still true today. People remember your stories not your numbers. Do you wish you could tell people who are you are, what you do and why you do it in a way that has them say “That’s interesting … tell me more?” Can you pitch your vision for your company so you can attract the best players for your team? What is the secret to pitching new customers to hire you and even investors to fund your company?

Pitching with a clear, concise and compelling story is the key to breaking through all the noise in today’s digital environment. When you tell great stories you pull people in vs. the old school way of pushing your message out to people. According to John Livesay “When you tug on the heartstrings, people open their purse strings.”

The 7 Most Powerful Selling Secrets

Be a co-pilot with your buyer and soar your way to success with integrity, passion and joy. Learn how to go from invisible to irresistible. Find out how to tell stories so you pull people in vs having to push you message out to them.

Staying True To Who You Are In A Time Of Change

Everything is being disrupted in business. How do you adapt and stay the course so you evolve yourself as a brand and stay relevant. Learn how to use your network, your passion and your skills to stay ahead vs being caught left behind.
