Elevator Pitch
Well...the name sounds interesting right 🤔? Let's break it down then!
The term - "elevator pitch" originates from a person🤵 trying to quickly pitch his idea to a superior in the time span of an elevator ride.
An elevator pitch is a short and to-the-point description of an idea or a product. It answers the very fundamental questions like what problem does the product solves and how does it solve.
The pitch is usually delivered in simple language without mentioning the technicalities or any other thing that may disrupt the listener's focus. A well-crafted elevator pitch leaves your listeners wanting to know more about your product in a detailed manner. 😉
