Business Breakfast for social entrepreneurs
Elevator Pitch
an opportunity for social enterprises to come together to network, trade and learn about what other social enterprises are doing in London.
The lift doors open and in walks a senior figure from an organisation that your social enterprise has been trying to arrange a meeting with. You have the time it takes to travel 2 floors to convince this person to meet you again for a more detailed conversation. What do you say? Think quick, what is the most important thing they need to know about you? What will get you that meeting to make that sale?....DING! It's their floor…. Time's up!
This month's Business Breakfast will take a look at the "elevator pitch" as a tool to raise your profile and increase sales. Whether you want to develop or refine an elevator pitch or want an opportunity to test your existing pitch out on some fellow entrepreneurs, this session aims to provide a fun, interactive opportunity to develop this tool in your sales kit.
