An elevator pitch is a persuasive speech to make your organization or idea sound as interesting as possible. It is usually a 20-30 second speech to convince someone of their product or their company. It is primarily used to make a good first impression.

Strengths and Struggles of:

Elevator Pitch #1:

The one strength of this pitch was that the actor, Vince Vaughn, had confidence while doing his elevator pitch, although it wasn't done in a very professional manner. He started out by talking about how electrical cars are gay. This is a hooked introduction, but might not appeal to all sales managers.

Elevator Pitch #2

The woman in the video did convey confidence, which is something that many people do not have, but in reality, she didn’t talk about herself as much as she should have. An elevator pitch is where you build your credibility in the fastest way possible, along with proposing your idea to a potential employer. The man in the video was asking her questions including to tell him more about herself when she should be doing this without being asked. Although this wasn’t what I find an amazing elevator pitch, it was the best of the three.

Elevator Pitch #3

This pitch was the worst out of the 3. It's called “Bad Elevator Pitch” for a reason. The girl in the video didn’t explain specifically why she wanted to work for the employer, and she stumbled in her words. The first thing you want to do in an elevator pitch is give contact information to your potential employer, so they won’t forget about you. The girl in the video forgot to give her contact information to the man.
