The few keys to any elevator pitch.

a hook : an affirmation, a question that makes you want to know more between 200 and 250 words for a pitch of maximum 60 seconds.

passion : your interlocutor must feel you are full of energy and enthusiasm

a request : at the end of your pitch you must ask for something an appointment, a recommendation, a business card, etc.

The different characteristics of an effective pitch.

Tested - before the pitch, impose a lot of repetitions on yourself and ask for feedback

Explicit - clearly present your business, your vision and your mission
