Roberto,

Great question! I think we should always be at the ready with our "elevator pitch" because one never knows when someone make ask us or when the opportunity may present to share about SFI. Here is mine:

"Do you ever find yourself frustrated because an expense crops up that you hadn't quite planned for? I learned about this great opportunity that allows me to have that extra needed cash on hand for those unexpected surprises. And I am my own boss

A good elevator pitch is a simple and concise information about your business or the company you represent.

As an affiliate to SFI/Tripleclicks, we need to be a Professional as we are the image of the company. Given an opportunity, we can meet our customers any where that is why we need to be ready with our business cards and a 60 seconds speech about our businesses.

In this restropect, our elevator speech should be stong and captivating to make

You have to prepare what you are going to say well in advance because you have a very short time in which you are expected to leave an impact. What you say in those few seconds will determine whether a more detailed dialogue is possible later on.

Your pitch should certainly involve you introducing yourself and your business. (Your name and the name of the company) and could go along these lines:

“ SFI, an international marketing company with a record of 17 years, offers a

Hi Roberto
It would depend how prepared the person is that you are talking to. Riding in an elevator is not a very long time to get to know a person's motivation or their preparedness to join SFI and be active. It may be better to have a chat with them and find out a a bit about them and then arrange to meet them at a later time to explain the business.

There are some questions you could ask them and they are usually in the following F.O.R.M.

F.amily
O.ccupation
R.ecreation
M.otivation

Said while bouncing up and down a tiny bit on your toes, impatiently: "Aarrgghh, I wish this elevator would hurry up; I can't wait to get back home to my work; it's so exciting!"

- or said while waiting in a queue ("I wish this line would get shorter now!") or waiting to be called for your appointment, impatiently tapping your fingers on the waiting-room magazine on your lap ("I wish they'd hurry up and call me now!")

The person next to you may

A good elevator pitch will be something that expreses high positive emotion that motivates some one to act.

Elevator pitch are short and to the point so it is important to prepare - not only by writing it down but be sure to verbally practice your pitch. Practice by yourself and in front of others.

The pitch is to fit the audience too - what may be a fit for those in an office building may not be the same pitch that you use when riding an elevator up to the top of a tall tower

"Elevator pitch"

In my opinion this is just a short and spicy way of effectively introducing the SFI business model to a potential PSA. If done correctly this will most likely result in a serious mover so here is how I would put it out there in like 30 seconds:

"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

I assume you do not literaly mean pitching people in elevators, but rather a short strong message.
It would be a bit scary if you start pitching somebody in an elevator - unless they ask you about your business.

There are so many selling points you can use. I believe you have to use what will appeal to your target market.

If you talk to a young person - like my son - and you tell him that he can start building his retirement fund he is not going to listen. To them

In my opinion elevator pitch means a very attractive highlighting point which we wish to say about. In this context it is SFI, as stated already in the question itself!

I start with the SFI, how it has formed and say about the branches of operation i.e., SFI Wing & Tripleclicks Wing. I will go about explaining the Team Building aspect of the SFI and Business development aspect of the Tripleclicks.

Next I will briefly highlight the points regarding free entry in to the
