What is an Elevator Pitch?
An elevator pitch is a quick description of your business and/or idea in the time it would take to ride up an elevator.

Presenting yourself effectively is an essential tool in the business arena. A well-planned elevator pitch can open the doors to success. Make sure you are prepared by rehearsing your elevator pitch and remember to include the following points.
