Elevator Speech

As we were walking towards the elevator at the end of a business networking event I was about to get on the elevator. A guy I coincidentally bumped into on the ride up now made his way across the room to leave became friendly and started telling me what he did. I decided to return the favor and give him my elevator speech.

As we were getting on the elevator, he looked at his watch and reminded me, "You know, this building only has three floors."

"We'll in that cases," I said jokingly, "let's take the stairs and I can let you know about my business at your own pace."

We get to the staircase and he starts to sprint out of sight!

Do you have your 30 second elevator speech ready to go?
