{The ask: a meeting, an intro, a question about their situation}?

Elevator pitch examples

How to write an elevator pitch

• Start with who you help

  “I help dental clinics that lose money to empty chairs” gives the listener a reason to keep listening. Your title and founding story don't. Open with the person and the problem, then say what you do.

• Say it in words a stranger would use

  If the pitch has “platform”, “solution” or “end-to-end” in it, the listener has to translate it. Describe what actually happens: patients book online, transactions get sorted, tickets turn into issues.

• Give one number, not a list

  One strong proof point is easier to remember than five features. “No-shows down 40% in three months” is the line people repeat after you've left.

• Change the ending, not the story

  The core of your pitch stays the same everywhere. What changes is the ask: a meeting with an investor, a question about the role in an interview, a question about their setup on a sales call, an intro at an event. Ending on a question turns the pitch into a conversation.

• Write it to be said out loud

  Short sentences, no parentheses, nothing you'd stumble over. Read it aloud once. If you run out of breath or it passes 30 seconds, cut.

You are a sharp speaking coach. Turn the notes below into a 30-second elevator pitch for this context: {context — networking | investor | job interview | sales call}.

Rules:
- Rephrase the notes; don't expand them. Every fact must come from the notes: no added features, strengths, traction, integrations, setup times, or plans. If the context needs something the notes don't have, write a {placeholder} instead.
- Use the product, company, or person's name if the notes give one.
- 50–80 words, about 30 seconds out loud. Short sentences written to be said, not read. First person. No em dashes.
- Open with who you help and the problem you solve, not a job title or company history.
- Then what you do, in plain words a stranger would understand. No buzzwords ("innovative", "leverage", "solutions", "passionate", "seamless", "aha", "cutting-edge").
- Then the strongest proof point from the notes, with its number.
- Fit the context:
  - Investor: traction and the raise. End by asking for a follow-up meeting.
  - Job interview: your strengths and why this kind of role. End with a question about the role.
  - Sales call: their problem and the result they'd get. End by asking about their situation.
  - Networking: simple enough to repeat to someone else. End by asking for a specific kind of introduction.

Return only the pitch as one paragraph. No other text.

Save one snippet per situation (“Pitch: Investor”, “Pitch: Interview”) with the context written in. Then the same notes give you the right pitch for each room.
