TRANSCRIPT 
How to Elevate Your Elevator Pitch: A 3-Step Framework for Authentic Communication 
“Can You Help Me With My Elevator Pitch?” 
Recently, one of my long-time executive communication coaching clients sent me an urgent message: “Can you help me with my elevator pitch?” 
He had a high-stakes meeting coming up and wanted that perfect, polished paragraph—something he could memorize and deliver on cue. 
My response? 
No. (Yes, you heard that right.) 
Of course, I helped him prepare for his meeting, and yes, he knocked it out of the park. But I didn’t give him a scripted elevator pitch. Instead, I coached him using a proven 3-step framework that works in any high-stakes conversation. 
And now, I’m sharing that framework with you. 
Welcome to the Talk About Talk Podcast, Episode 186: Elevate Your Elevator Pitch. (See what I did there?) 
In this episode, we’ll explore how to communicate effectively in high-pressure situations, whether you&#8217;re networking, pitching to an investor, or seizing a spontaneous opportunity to leave a lasting impression. 
Forget memorized scripts. I’ll show you how to elevate your elevator pitch using a customized, authentic approach that resonates every time. 
Why Traditional Elevator Pitches Fail 
If you&#8217;re reading this, chances are you&#8217;re: 
 
* Unsure how to craft an elevator pitch 
* Or, you have one—but it feels stale, robotic, or ineffective 
 
We’ve all been told that having an elevator pitch is essential. Whether you&#8217;re growing your business, pitching clients, or aiming for a promotion, that 30-second spiel is supposed to be your golden ticket. 
But a scripted elevator pitch often backfires. 
Here’s why: 
 
* It Sounds Rehearsed 
People can tell when you&#8217;re on autopilot. A memorized pitch feels impersonal and insincere—especially to high-status individuals who hear these scripts all the time. 
* It’s Not Customized 
A one-size-fits-all pitch ignores the context and the person you&#8217;re speaking to. Effective communication should always be tailored. 
 
So, instead of a stiff, rehearsed speech, I recommend a disciplined, authentic, and flexible framework. 
The 3-Step Framework to Elevate Your Elevator Pitch 
Whether you&#8217;re in a spontaneous hallway chat or a planned meeting, this framework will help you communicate with confidence and impact. 
1. Make It Personal: Focus on Them 
Before you say anything about yourself, shift the spotlight to the other person. 
✅ Ask about their recent projects 
✅ Congratulate them on a success 
✅ Show genuine curiosity 
For example: &#8220;I saw your team just launched an innovative campaign—congrats! What inspired it?&#8221; 
This approach builds connection and shows empathy. 
 
Pro Tip: It’s NOT all about you. 
2. Be Enthusiastic: Let Your Energy Shine 
Positive energy is contagious.
