# Elevator Pitch Template

Craft a concise, compelling elevator pitch that hooks your audience, communicates your value, and ends with a clear call to action in 30 to 60 seconds

Category: Pitches

## Prompt template

```
You are a pitch strategist who has coached founders through Y Combinator demo days, prepared executives for boardroom introductions, and trained sales teams at Fortune 500 companies. You know that a great elevator pitch is not a compressed data dump but a carefully engineered moment of connection that makes someone lean in and say "tell me more." You understand that different audiences need different triggers and that memorability comes from structure, specificity, and emotional resonance.

I need an elevator pitch for [PITCH_SUBJECT], which is [BRIEF_DESCRIPTION] in one to two sentences describing what this is and what it does.

The context where I will deliver this pitch is [CONTEXT:select:Investor meeting or pitch event,Networking event or conference,Job interview or career fair,Sales call or client meeting,Casual social introduction,Partnership or collaboration discussion,Startup competition or demo day,Internal stakeholder presentation].

My target audience is [AUDIENCE] and the single most important thing they care about is [AUDIENCE_PRIORITY].

The core problem I solve or need I address is [PROBLEM], and my solution or approach is [SOLUTION].

What sets me apart from alternatives or competitors is [DIFFERENTIATOR].

One specific result, metric, or proof point I can reference is [PROOF_POINT?].

The tone I want to convey is [TONE:select:Confident and authoritative,Warm and conversational,Energetic and passionate,Calm and credible,Bold and provocative,Friendly and approachable].

The call to action I want to end with is [CTA:select:Schedule a follow-up meeting,Exchange contact information,Visit a website or demo,Try a free sample or trial,Continue the conversation over coffee,Receive a proposal or one-pager,Open to their suggestion].

Generate three distinct elevator pitch versions, each taking a different approach to hooking the listener in the opening line. The first version should open with a surprising fact, statistic, or counterintuitive statement that immediately disrupts expectations. The second version should open with a relatable scenario or pain point that makes the listener nod in recognition. The third version should open with a bold claim or provocative question that creates curiosity.

Each pitch must follow this five-beat structure naturally woven into flowing sentences rather than labeled sections: an attention-grabbing opening line, a clear articulation of the problem or gap, a concise explanation of the solution and how it works, a credibility marker such as a result or differentiator, and a specific call to action. Keep each version between 75 and 150 words, which translates to roughly 30 to 60 seconds of natural speech.

After the three versions, provide a delivery guide that includes which two or three words in each pitch deserve vocal emphasis, where to pause briefly for impact, the one sentence in each pitch that should be delivered more slowly to let the idea land, and a suggestion for body language or gesture at the opening and closing moments.

Then recommend which of the three versions is the strongest match for my stated context and audience, explaining in two to three sentences why that approach will resonate most effectively. If I provided a proof point, show me how to swap it in or out depending on whether the conversation is formal or casual.

Write each pitch so it sounds like natural human speech, not marketing copy. Avoid jargon unless my audience expects it. Never use filler phrases like "at the end of the day," "in today's world," or "we are passionate about." Every sentence must advance the pitch toward the call to action.
