The best "Elevator Pitch" of the World?
We've read a lot of excellent tips regarding the best way to build and deliver an elevator pitch design to draw attention for our project.
This is a perfect example of an "elevator Pitch", given in "The Dilemma" (2011), the Movie. It summarizes probably everything at the best, and shows how you can build a very convincing story in only 2 minutes.
WARNING: the term "gay" is used in this movie. Before everyone could feel offended and complain about it, it's worth mentioning that "gay" has several definitions. in this video, the correct meaning is: "A gay object is brightly coloured and pretty to look at." (Collins Dictionary). It is obvious that the term "gay" used here does not refer to a "homosexual person".

@@TheSamuelbest12 In less than 40 seconds. It's called elevator pitch because the scenario through which you come up with a "short and to the point" advertisement of sorts, whether it is yourself or a product, would be that you stepped into an elevator with someone you want to make a good impression to. Typically, the time spent in an elevator is from 20-40 seconds.

You get in an elevator with your target that can't run away from you. You're supposed to have an idea pitched to your target in under a minute. It's successful if your targets gives you a follow up appointment, etc. Timing and space is key.

I mean, it's not specifically an *elevator* pitch (more like a sales pich) but it has a very hooked up beginning and is made up using vivid details, great visuals (using words) and its extremely easy to remember besides being absolutely unique, also has that "people buy into people" (specially at the end with "Nick Brennan") and i the speaker interacts and relates a lot with the audience using questions , references, memories, jokes and street talk. I mean , its daring and perhaps he didn't talk to much about that technology of them but it's not a bad pitch at all.

This is a great value proposition. We - scientists and engineers - tend to explain with plenty details how our technology works without questioning if people would need it.

Well, an elevator pitch is selling a certain image of yourself. It isn't making a convincing story, but in the realm of professional identity it's about showcasing your best qualities and what sets you apart. If anything this is a sales pitch which is different.
@ericprouzet3851

An elevator pitch is always about selling something. If not, there's no need to deliver one. You don't deliver an elevator pitch if you don't want to create interest in yourself (hence, you are selling yourself) or a product you offer. Of course, this is a movie and the long story is made short. In real life, after this pitch, there would be discussions about what they offer, how they will make it, and which budget is required... I like this example because my main contribution is toward scientists (and I'm one of them) who use to believe that you can convince if you explain well and in details. This example illustrates how a convincing pitch can be done without (almost) describing the "how" (just a couple of seconds at the end), but addressing the problem and the feeling achieved by the solution they offer. Personally, if I need to describe my professional identity, I would better use a brand mantra that can summarize what I'm doing, and especially why I'm doing it.

@@ericprouzet3851 As an experienced account manager I doubt this would be a good way to pitch a big company in a meeting. You don't really discredit or contextualize existing products or lines to forward your own proposal, you present the untapped markets they are losing revenues to. You can contextualize to compare markets, but never to discredit one; unless they are directly correlated. What most people forget or straight up romanticize is that when you're pitching a group of people you only need to lose one of them to lose them all. Having a "special" pitch just won't work, you're genuinely dependant on having a good product. Of course presentation is important, but reality is often disappointing. The reality nowadays is that by the time you have a meeting like this booked most of the work has been done via the phone, mail, and teams meetings. And with my experience, with companies this big it is more of a conversation than a sales meeting. The elevator pitch is useful when you're at networking events. It is also used commonly for stand sales and cold sales. But for the love of god don't use it in meetings or with leads. Overly energetic or optimistic pitching does not work with big companies.

@@marjoriemorris5849 Hi Marjorie, to follow up with your kind comment, we must keep in mind that this is not a tutorial for creating the best pitch, but only a funny movie. You make a very important point: as a consumer, you expect something like more technical information on the product you could buy. First, this means that you are not an "early adopter" (I'm not either as I don't buy a thing without checking reviews, etc.). Secondly, it illustrates that a pitch must be designed for a specific audience. Here, it's not to customers, but to manufacturers. As a scientist and engineer, what I liked in this sequence was the fact that they give a full pitch without giving a single word on how they will proceed. In other words, they focus on the value the car company could get, not on the function they will deliver. This can seem obvious for people in marketing and communication, but scientists and engineers tend to think that they must explain all the details of their new invention to convince people to buy it. Best. Eric

First, remember it's a comedy movie. However, what I appreciate about this video is it's focused on what a first pitch should be: highlighting the problem, creating a connection with the audience, and offering a solution (or a better solution), not focusing on the details of the solution. Also, if you have comments on the use of the "gay" term, check on my description that explains why the use of this term here is not offending because with a different (and traditional) meaning.
Nice speech, clear statement

This is mostly a "high-level concept." Explaining a product by comparison with something else well-known.
The guy was able to explain his point of view. This is great. But this is not enough to be the best pitch. The best pitch talks more about the person in front of you and also kill objections. But clearly the guy was talking more about his company and creating objections. I didn't watch the movie to say if they had deal, but in real life people tend to not take the action you want them to take, if they have objections.

Yes. I agree. I think its best to discover the investor's issues with the product to see if they can be resolved so that both companies can collaborate towards the success of the goal or idea. What this video demonstrates is two people with the attitude of "we have a great idea, and we dont like answering questions seriously." And then thinking being cute at the end is going to secure the deal. I think it's unreasonable to think that will work.
