      Hi Andy, thanks for the feedback. Having an elevator pitch that sparks interest and creates some type of call to action is key. I loved your video this week on how to create the perfect pitch. Your example was so clean and concise.

      Well, I did it quickly along side of your video for fun. I wanted to work on it a little before I shared it.. .but let me share it with you now... this is directly from your video...
      "I am a Wild woman Teacher showing people how to live a life that's free in a way that they own it. One of my greatest passions is to help women that want to love a life that is meaningful and matters to them, that is infused with magic and helps them see the synchronicities of life so they can really know the Universe has their back.
      In addition to spiritual teaching and mentorship, I created a deck of oracle cards that has sold over 10,000 copies for women to use to help navigate their life for healing and to make it better and to help them through hard times, as well as helping women to grow their businesses. (That last one, was a total shock and I never thought of it when making them!) I provide concrete ways for women who want to live their lives honestly with and with heart and fun. Are you living the life your heat wants for you? Do you feel magic in your everyday?"
      And there you have it... no editing.. just you said one piece I paused the video and wrote, then listened to the next part and wrote and so on until the end. I didn't edit it. It was fast .. .and not bad right?!
      I just wanted you to know, I really DID do it! Not just saying! And it's great! :) Let me know what you think Professor! You are truly Awesome sauce.. you know that right my friend ?! This was a great video and very productive. Elizabeth

    The hardest part of creating a personal elevator pitch for me is saying it out loud. My family and loved ones don't get it. They are all not in the work force. But, I learn more by just saying it to people when I meet. Trust me people always wonder what I do lol
    I don't try to stress over not getting it right. But, practice makes it perfect!

    • @ProfessorHeatherAustin

    Professor Heather, 🖐 a friendly advice, an elevator pitch have to be short and catchy and after the first question, what do you do? The goal is to generate the next question, how do you do it? And then the last question can I get your business card. for example a florist “what do you do “ answer, I brighten up everyone’s day.

      Hello my name is XX. I am a (certified?) Safety coach. I want to help women and girls live safer lives. I do this by teaching them how to avert dangerous situation and how to handle them should they arise anyway. i would further maybe specify the education/training as the i find them quite "vague terms". it will maybe prolong your pitch but consindering your subject matter people will take extra time. also add a call to action along the lines of "don't hestitate to call me should you or someone you know need me" Just my 2 cents though.

    When you pitch in baseball... you're the only pitcher on the field. The ball is not "pitched" back to you. It may be thrown back to you. But unless you are the batter and the person throwing the ball toward you at home plate is not the pitcher... it isn't a pitch.

    Elevator Pitch: The art of making a quick sales pitch to someone who is on an elevator with you. For true sales pros, the elevator pitch is much shorter, as when you are pitching the value of your worthless life to God as you are falling down an elevator shaft.
