INSIDE LOOK

Picture yourself standing behind the counter at the shoestore. A customer walks in and wants to buy the best pair of shoes you have.They want a quality product, but also want to save money. There’s another shoe store across the street having a huge sale, but the customer came to you first. You only have a few minutes to explain why the customer should buy your shoes vs. the shoes across the street.

You help the customer try the shoe on, all the while explaining the benefits of the cushioning, the upgraded technology, the comfort, and not to mention, how fantastic they look.

Think of your elevator pitch the same way. It’s a brief explanation describing the benefits of buying a product – except YOU are that product!
