The takeaway
Say who you help and how, in plain language, then ask about them. Senior leaders remember clarity and curiosity, not slogans.
Drop the elevator pitch
Rehearsed pitches can sound like advertising. Most executives prefer a short, specific description: your role, the kind of companies you work with, and a recent example.
Keep it under twenty seconds and leave room for questions.
A simple structure
Use this as a starting point and make it your own.
- Your name and company.
- Who you serve and the problem you help with.
- One concrete example.
- A question back: “What is keeping you busy this year?”
Read the room
If the other person wants to talk about family, golf or travel, follow their lead. Business conversations often come later and more naturally.
