Elevator Pitch Coaching

Project details

What we need
  • Document outlining feedback on pitch delivery with suggested next steps and/or resources
  • A script for a 1-minute verbal pitch that communicates your Organization's mission, work, and why people should care
Additional details

I've led this organization for ten years and feel I have a great elevator pitch, but I want a total outsider to improve it for me. To be clear, I'm talking about a short, verbal pitch about what makes the Consort different and interesting.

What we have in place
  • We currently have experienced staff, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have tons of background information, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to spend more money on school buses for DC public school students to attend our free, award-winning, performances in March.

I'm starting to speak to new potential board members and want to hone my pitch.
