Here’s a deal for you. Record your elevator pitch on video and send me the embed link and I’ll post it on my blog. Then I’ll review it and give you some tips. Good exposure for your blog, or business, or whatever. :)
If you want to be successful you need to be able to give your elevator pitch, or your “unique selling proposition”, to a customer. Can you do it? You need to be able to. Take my challenge. By the way, happy tax day to those of you in the USA.

Having a good “elevator speech” is critical for networking functions, or even just meeting random people in the grocery store. One of the items of value I provide my clients is a worksheet on creating an effective elevator speech.
People underestimate this simple but very effective tool, and I think everyone should have some sort of speech or pitch for whatever job they do.
It’ll be interesting to see some of your results. Assuming you’re going to post them somewhere…
Take care,
Jeff

I’m a casual blogger who wants to eventually sell online content, but I don’t have any sell-able content yet. Would I benefit by putting together an Elevator Pitch describing my intentions?

Jim,
I’ll send you pitch. Can it be a spoof? When do you need it by?

@Helen, yes, everyone should have an elevator pitch. Record one!
@Meghan, thanks for stopping by. It can be anything you like. Send it over anytime! By the way everyone, check out Meghan’s link for an amazing site and videos.

Jim,
I’m a tad behind, but I like this challenge. I’m not a video whiz, but I’ve given it a shot anyway. I sent you a link through DailyMotion, but I’m not sure the right one made it through so here’s a link:

Thanks in advance,

2]Get your own Nintendo Wii
The games console with one of the strangest names on the planet (it’s pronounced ‘wee’) is also one of the most innovative. In fact, with its potential to change the face of the gaming landscape, Wii may be on the verge of a new era, if you’ll pardon the pun.
The $400 Wii package comprises a square white console unit and stand that plugs into your TV or AV receiver, a wireless sensor bar that connects to the console and receives wireless commands from the battery-powered paddle-style Wiimote controller. Basic composite cables are supplied, but if you have a plasma or LCD the $50 component cable options will deliver better picture quality. The console also supports an SD slot, USB port and a DVD drive for games.
Games data can be saved to SD memory cards, which weren’t officially released at the time of publication, but in lieu of their arrival, GameCube memory cards will suffice. The USB port can’t be used to save games either, but will enable future hardware upgrades such as a hard drive or DVD player, although no announcements have been made to this effect.
Despite its DVD drive, the console is not a DVD player (a modification chip is required if you want to watch movies). Nor is it the high definition, hard drive-toting, networked multimedia online multiplayer gaming machine that is the Xbox 360 or forthcoming Playstation 3. Instead, it presents as the most affordable ‘next generation’ games machine available and, certainly, lacks for no important ingredients if you want to have fun.
