Also known as an elevator pitch, some business big shots say it's as important as a professional looking business card. It's a concise but effective speech that should be completed in the time of an elevator ride, and it generally consists of a pitch about what you have to offer whether it is your own attributes or a service. Outside from literally meeting someone important in the confines of an elevator, your speech can be used in any networking situation or in a job interview when asked the dreaded open ended question "tell me about yourself." You want to market yourself / business / service in a way that gives the person receiving the speech a desire to know more about you.

These are so nerve racking. I hate to sound like a recording when I have to talk about what the company I work for has to offer.
1I agree. One of the many reasons I will not go into sales/marketing.
2Very nerve raking!
3My dad had to do LOTS of these and so I have learned from the best
I could never do this...
4I think this is a good tip. as person who often finds it hard to answer the tellus about yourself question it can help to have something a little pre planned up your sleeve plus keeping it short makes it easier to edit yourself for just the most important attention getting facts
5I should work on of these for myself just for introduction purposes. I never know what to say.
6I once got a job from giving an 'elevator speech' when they weren't even going to give me an interview.
I'm awesome at this kind of thing.
