30-Second Pitch
A 30-second pitch about your business is one of your most effective marketing tools, because it:
- Acts as your own personal commercial. It’s your opportunity to tell potential customers about yourself, your business, and ultimately why they should buy from you.
- Takes little time to create.
- Costs nothing to to produce or use
Your 30-second pitch needs to convey some vital information while being memorable. A good pitch has to both speak to the listener, and sound natural. You’ll need to rehearse your pitch to get it to sound just right!
You’ll use your 30-second pitch in multiple contexts:
- At networking events when you meet new contacts: potential partners, suppliers, financiers or customers.
- In your marketing materials.
- With friends and family as you tell them what you’re up to, so they can refer business to you!
