Synopsis

Elevator Pitch Essentials is a business book that teaches entrepreneurs, salespeople, project champions, job seekers, and others how to get their point across in two minutes or less. Elevator Pitch Essentials is full of real-life examples of effective and ineffective elevator pitches and explains what is good, and/or what is bad, about each.
