Elevator Pitch Prompt

What it does

Writes a verbal pitch you can deliver in 30–60 seconds — the answer to "so what do you do?" that actually leads somewhere. The output is structured for natural spoken delivery: short sentences, no jargon, one clear hook, and a specific outcome that makes the listener want to know more. Works for founders, freelancers, sales reps, and anyone who needs to explain their value quickly.

How to use it

Read the output aloud immediately. Any sentence that's harder to say than it is to write needs to be simplified. If you stumble on it, your listener will too.

Practice the 30-second version until it's automatic. Have the 60-second version ready when someone shows interest after the short version.

Example output

30-second version: "I help marketing agencies that are spending $20K+ a month on ads but don't know which campaigns are actually driving revenue. I build attribution models that connect ad spend to closed deals — not just clicks. Most of my clients find out within the first month that they've been overpaying for the wrong channel by 40–60%. I'm usually done in 8 weeks and the model runs in your existing tools."

60-second version: "I'm a freelance analytics consultant. I work with B2B marketing teams — usually agencies and SaaS companies — who are spending six figures on ads but can't trace that spend to actual revenue. Their reporting shows clicks and leads, but the sales team has no idea which campaigns are sending them qualified deals.

I build revenue attribution models — the infrastructure that connects a closed deal in your CRM back to the first ad someone clicked. It's not exotic technology; it's connecting tools you already have in a way that nobody built out when you first set them up.

My clients typically discover they're over-invested in one or two channels that look good in the ad dashboard but barely convert. I fix the model in about 8 weeks. Usually saves $15K+ per month in misallocated spend."

Variations

Job interview: Add "This is for answering 'tell me about yourself' in a job interview. Frame it as my professional background and what I bring to this type of role, not as a service pitch."

Investor pitch (1 minute): Add "This is for an investor. Include: the problem, my solution, the market size (briefly), and why now."

No clear differentiator yet: Add "I don't have a clear differentiator. Don't invent one. Write a pitch that's compelling based on specificity and outcome alone."

Common pitfalls

Describing what you are, not what you do. "I'm a digital marketing specialist" is a job title. "I help [specific audience] do [specific thing] so they can [specific outcome]" is a pitch.

Too much context. 60 seconds doesn't have room for your company history. Get to the problem and outcome immediately.

Memorizing word-for-word. Know the structure, not the script. A memorized pitch sounds memorized.

Who uses this prompt

Founders preparing for networking events or investor meetings. Freelancers who get asked "what do you do?" and don't have a good answer. Sales reps who need a 30-second intro before a discovery call. Job seekers practicing for interviews. Anyone who has explained what they do 20 times this week and still gotten blank stares.
