Seminar Description: Entrepreneurs have many opportunities to increase their "Top of Mind" status to successfully promote their business. On a daily basis, it is your elevator pitch. An elevator pitch is a brief, persuasive statement that you use to spark interest and a conversation in what your organization does. You can also use it to create interest in a project, idea or product – or in yourself. A good elevator pitch should last no longer than a short elevator ride of 60 seconds or less, hence the name. It should be interesting, memorable and succinct. It also needs to explain what makes you – or your organization, product or idea – unique. Elevator pitch can be used in day-to-day life when people ask what you do or at the upcoming Pitch Party to be held at Southern Appalachian Brewery. This seminar will also prepare you to verbally present your business for funding to a Local Bank, Microloan Organization i.e. Mountain Bizworks, Angel Investor Group or a Venture Capital Firm. "Build it and they will come" is not a good marketing strategy, it is better to pitch it.
