“Elevator pitch” refers to giving a synopsis of SFI in a condensed version. It is short enough to get your concept across to a person in the time between floors in an elevator.

You need to know the importance of having a concise, brief and clear description of what you do on the tip of your tongue at a moment’s notice. You need to make sure that what you say during that brief window is actually being communicated clearly.

Here are some things to keep in mind when formulating and delivering your elevator pitch:

- The concept of SFI must be clearly communicated.

The pitch must be short, concise and clearly states what the name of the company which is Strong Future International (SFI) and what you do. The person hearing it would not have any further questions about what SFI offers, after hearing your elevator pitch. Being this clear allows the person you are speaking to think about ways he/she may be able to use your services or refer business to you, etc.

Example: My company is Strong Future International. We are one of the top network marketing opportunities worldwide. We offer substantial income to everyone, making money everywhere. You can participate as long as you want and there is no obligation or purchase requirement of any kind.

- Check for words that make the person you’re speaking to take pause.

For example: “My company Strong Future International pays your commission based on your monthly VersaPoints.”

The person you’re speaking to will say: What? That is internal language that means nothing to someone outside of SFI. If someone said that to me, I would be thinking, ”Why do they think that I should already know what they are talking about?” Not only do I not get what you do, I have no idea what you may have said after that because I’m having internal dialogue. Try telling your pitch to someone who is a complete stranger, have never heard of your company and have no clue what you do – if they get it, you’ve done it.

- Keep your messaging clear and concise.

Avoid corporate jargon whenever possible. If the person is not familiar with the terms you’re using, he/she will be confused.

- Utilizing a question would contribute to the effectiveness of your speech by engaging your audience.

For example: Do you need an extra income working from home? Would you like to have a share in company-wide sales commissions every month?

Asking questions can act as an attention grabber and an attention gauge. It is important to not only capture the attention of the person you are speaking to but to also gauge how interested they are in the conversation. If they seem very interested in learning why you asked them the question you did, you can tailor your messaging to meet their interest level.

- Knowing your business.

When prodded for more information, don’t sound as you’re reciting lines and don’t really know the subject matter. You should know very well why and what makes SFI one of the top network marketing opportunities worldwide.

The bottom line is that an elevator pitch is extremely important and worth taking the time to develop so it is easily understood and projects exactly what it is that you do. It may mean that you try out many elevator pitches until you find the right fit but it’s worth it. You never know whom you may run into in an elevator.

During the times when you are prospecting for SFI you are going to run into times when your passion is on fire for SFI but you only have a short time to share your home business with someone.

You will need to learn some super power packed short messages to give to someone while you are handing them a business card or a flier. These short messages are known in the sales field as an “elevator pitch.”

One of the things about an elevator pitch is that it must get your prospect’s curiosity enough to want to check out your offer or to contact you for more information. You are not trying to “sell” the prospect anything you only want them to go to your web site, blog or contact you directly.

Once you have exchanged names with each other you can ask them:

“Do you know anyone who would like a free extra income source from the comforts of their own home?”

Most people will tell you yes – that’s when you hand them your card and say something like this;

“There is a lot of money to be made here and I want to help others to get some of it.”

Don’t say anything more – it is now time to leave this prospect and move on to the next. As you can see I covered some big words in my little script.

“Free”
“Income source”
“Work from home”
“A lot of money to be made”
“Helping others make money”

Of course use whatever you can think of saying – be creative and excited when sharing. The above script has been working for me very well. On a good day I can give out 50 of my business cards – out of that I will gain up to 7 to 12 responses.

First, let's understand where the idea of an 'elevator pitch' comes from, and what it is.

It comes from the many opportunities sales people have when they visit office buildings, where important business leaders work. The sales rep may take an elevator with somebody extremely important, such as the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, who can turn out to be a potentially lucrative customer. Those 30 seconds of a shared elevator ride is a unique opportunity that should not be missed.

An 'elevator pitch' is a brief sales presentation meant to initiate a relationship that will develop further through follow-up. To be effective, it has to build up your audience's interest. You have also to open the door for a follow up on that presentation.

As an SFI affiliate, you want to sponsor prospects and sell TripleClicks products. Hence, it is evident that you will not conclude this 'elevator pitch' with a sign-up or a TripleClicks transaction. What you can reasonably expect is to get your audience to give you their contact information for additional details. If you get their email and phone number, that would be a very good outcome.

The above should be your goals in an 'elevator pitch'.

To succeed, you need to be fully prepared, with your business card ready, and some SFI/Tripleclicks marketing material at hand. Use the various pocket size cards, available as "marketing aids for beginners", at the Marketing Center.

The most important factors, in your presentation, are your body language, the tone in your voice, the clarity of your ideas and your body language. You should have an open and inviting attitude that pull people towards you and give them the positive impression that makes them want to connect with you.

First, identity the floor at which your audience will be exiting. You can see it from the illuminated buttons on the elevator panel. Make sure you conclude your presentation before.

Your 'elevator pitch' implies that you already have built a rapport and have some basic knowledge about the person listening to you. Your presentation should be articulate, concise and convincing. Limit it to a maximum of three statements.

In your opening statement, you want to put yourself into your audience's perspective: their, interests, hobbies, needs, goals, or questions they may be facing.

Next, choose any of the SFI components that will be the ideal solution to your audience's problems. It may be the SFI affiliate program, the TripleClicks store, the Eager Zebra games, or the Pricebenders penny auctions. This solution you are providing will determine the level of interest from your audience.

The point is: a good 'elevator pitch' about SFI will vary depending on who is listening.

Third, ask for their business card. Most business cards, nowadays, have both the phone number and the email address.

Only after you get their business card, would you give them yours. Otherwise, if they have your business card already, they will reply: "I will call you" when you ask them theirs.

It is critical that you follow up the same day by a phone call or an email, the content of which will also depend on how well did your 'elevator pitch' go.

What would be a good elevator pitch for SFI?

Roberto let me first congratulate you for asking a question whose answer could help millions of affiliates here to sponsor many new PSAs into their team.

First we need to understand what is an Elevator Pitch? An Elevator Pitch is a short sentence or short sentences or a very very short paragraph which immediately raises curiosity in a prospect's mind. This curiosity should successfully lead to confirmed PSA.

I have used the following Elevator Pitch successfully to sponsor hundreds of PSAs :

Do you know that you can use your smartphone to build a Work From Home online business by just giving 2-3 hrs daily?Inbox me for more info or call or Whatsapp me at xxxxxxxxxxxx or email me at [email protected]

I post this regularly in hundreds of Facebook groups almost daily. I am careful not to post above in same group not more than twice a week.

When you post this on Facebook groups then members of the group may ask for more information. Then you need to respond them quickly and ask for their email addresses. When they submit then email them immediately with a short message and your gateway link. Your job is done.

One thing must be brought to your notice that nothing works all the time. We must constantly devise new Elevator Pitch and see which one works well. I have used tens of such different variations and finally came up with above Elevator Pitch.

I hope this will help you.

All the best to you and happy sponsoring.

Thanks for this question.

For the understanding of every one, what is an elevator pitch?

An elevator pitch, elevator speech or elevator statement is a short summary used to quickly and simply define a process, product, service, organization, or event and its value proposition.

We can have different types of elevator pitch depending upon the type of person or audience we have.

For example, if you are trying to begin a conversation with a person who sells his products to the local market & does not know how to take it to global market, you can say he can become an E-Commerce Associate of a reputed US Organization, Free of cost, that has its members across the globe.

Again, when you try to discuss about SFI with a person who is already in a job but looking for a part time income, you can say that you are a member of an Affiliate Organization that has its members in 203 countries and territories & it provides best opportunities to earn a residual income for life, without any joining fee or purchase requirements.

Same way, when you want to initiate a discussion with a person who is very keen to play on line games, you can say, "TripleClicks is an US Organization that provides opportunities to play on line games and earn in the process".

When you initiate a dialog like this, the other person, however busy he is, will be keen to have more information. Naturally, there can be exchange of cards or fixing up of an appointment for discussion or time slot for a demonstration, etc.

Conclusion:

1. Know the person or the audience in advance.
2. Choose the "elevator pitch" that best suits the situation;
3. Begin the dialog;
4. See the reaction of the people;
5. Move on based on the situation.
6. But, the very important point is, be thorough with all relevant information pertaining to SFI and
TripleClicks.

Good Day Roberto,

Prospecting "Face-to-Face" Can Be Easier Than you Think...

(NOTE: I recommend you try this out on friends and family, simply to get a better "feel" for what you are doing. You may also, at the same time, find a "gem" in a friend and/or family member. One who may become an "active" member of your downline/Team.)

As a current, online business owner with SFI, there are certain skills you will want to have, especially 'face-to-face' skills that can not only increase your downline, but can provide you with considerably MORE active affiliates.

Here's the pitch I suggest.. not just for "elevators" but anywhere:

"Excuse me Maam/Sir, but have you
ever considered starting your own
business from home?"

(Wait for prospect to reply. If he or she says YES, say the following:)

"Excellent... because we've got the right one for you!"

(If he or she says NO, simply hand him or her one of your business cards, and
thank him or her for their time. NOTE: Your business card should have your full
name, address, telephone number, email address and either your own, personal/
business website, or one of SFI's gateways on it.)

(Otherwise, continue as follows:)

"SFI has been around for over 17 years
and is still growing! Their affiliate program
provides all the tools and services you need
to set up a successful online business! It's
free to join and you can even sell the old
stuff you don't need anymore online. Here,
take one of my cards. You should really
check it out!"

(As you are finishing your last statement "You should really check it out",
hand him or her one of your business cards. Remember, this is just a short
and to the point introduction, so you do not go into any long and drawn out
breakdown of SFI or TripleClicks. What you want, is for the prospect to
either contact you, personally, for more information, or to go online
and sign-up under you, using one of your own, personal SFI gateways.)

In this case, end the conversation like this:

"Maam/Sir, here's my card. If you have any questions,
or need further information, please feel free to contact
me (pointing to your name, telephone # and email address).
Or, you can go online (pointing to your website and/or
SFI Gateway [url]) to get all the information you
require and/or to sign up FREE!"

(Here, simply thank the prospect for giving you some of
his or her time, smile and go on your way to the next prospect.)

Needless to say, if you want to change the above script, to fit your own personality or for any other reason, please feel free to do so. However, what I suggest is that you memorize the script as it is, use it first, then, if you feel it necessary, alter the script to your own personal preference.

Hi Roberto

An elevator pitch, elevator speech or elevator statement is a short summary used to quickly and simply define a process, product, service, organization, or event and its value proposition.

A value proposition is a promise of value to be delivered and acknowledged and a belief from the customer that value will be delivered and experienced. A value proposition can apply to an entire organization, or parts thereof, or customer accounts, or products or services.

Creating a value proposition is a part of business strategy. "trategy is based on a differentiated customer value proposition. Satisfying customers is the source of sustainable value creation.
Developing a value proposition is based on a review and analysis of the benefits, costs and value that an organization can deliver to its customers, prospective customers, and other constituent groups within and outside the organization. It is also a positioning of value, where Value = Benefits - Cost (cost includes economic risk).

The name 'elevator pitch' reflects the idea that it should be possible to deliver the summary in the time span of an elevator ride, or approximately thirty seconds to two minutes and is widely credited to Ilene Rosenzweig and Michael Caruso (while he was editor for Vanity Fair) for its origin. The term itself comes from a scenario of an accidental meeting with someone important in the elevator. If the conversation inside the elevator in those few seconds is interesting and value adding, the conversation will either continue after the elevator ride, or end in exchange of business cards or a scheduled meeting.

A variety of people, including project managers, salespeople, evangelists, and policy-makers, commonly rehearse and use elevator pitches to get their points across quickly.
One idea behind an elevator pitch is to be able to actually not only say what you do but do it in a way that is interesting. For example, if you asked someone what they do and they answer "I am a financial planner" the conversation may almost end there. As the person who hears what they do may already feel they know what it is that person does. So it is important to be able to explain what you do in more detail but without using terminology that will pigeon hole you before you get started.

In my opinion, the following are the good Elevator Pitches for SFI:

1. Would you like to earn a second income in addition to what you are already earning?
2. We have a business opportunity slightly different than other online businesses; could you spare your two minutes to listen about it?
3. We are in online business for the last 16 years; would you be interested to join us free of cost?
4. We are an Online Business Company delivering more than 100,000 commissionable products in 195+ countries. I hope you would like to join us free of cost.
5. If you are offered 45% commissions; would you be interested in marketing our products?
Hope it helps
Have a nice day !!

For a good "Elevator pitch," you need to make sure you set a goal for what you want to accomplish. For example, a goal for a "normal" sales pitch would be to make a transaction. A goal for a recruiting pitch would be to sign up an affiliate.

However, with such a short time for a presentation (30 seconds or less), it would be unrealistic to expect to "close a deal" with the pitch. Instead, your goal should be to break the ice. Have a card in your hand so you can give it to the person at the end of the conversation and that will open up the door for the transaction to take place later.

As far as the content of the conversation is concerned, you should check out the ads on our marketing page. Inside the banners and other materials, you will find plenty of "one-liners" you can use to start the conversation.

Once you get the conversation started, you can give the person a card and tell them to check it out later. This will leave a good impression because you didn't push for a decision right away.
