Learn to pitch what you do in a few sentences that make people curious instead of confused. Skip the jargon and financial details. A simple description of your role and product works better than a long explanation.
when you're in a setting where someone is asking you what you do, that's the elevator pitch. You want to be able to respond in a way that is intriguing and not too long that people's eyes glaze over and they don't listen anymore. Not too complicated that you're stumbling over words, but it kind of gets the point out of what you're doing in a way that invites further conversation. That is the goal of your elevator pitch. It's not to spit out a long paragraph. It's not to tell people what kind of returns you're doing. It's not to tell them about a deal. It's just to tell them in general terms, just like you would ask somebody, hey, what are you? Oh, I'm the CEO of this company that creates widgets and, you know, ships them nationwide. Okay.
