Elevator Speeches Posted 9:53 AM on 10/13/09I just tried a new elevator speech at a networking event. I did NOT start with my name or what I did. I leaped right into a short story. I spent about 15 seconds describing how a client had a serious image problem, my firm came and helped, and they became a long contract client of ours. I ended with my name and my firm's name, and it worked like a charm. Learned this in a new book called Own The Room by Deborah Shames and David Booth. I've been in network groups for years, but this was probably the best elevator speech I ever gave.
