Thirty seconds is about 75 words

People write pitches they could never say. Read one aloud and the ones that are too long become obvious immediately. The target here is what a person can actually deliver in half a minute without rushing.

The structure that works: the problem the listener recognises, what you do about it, one specific thing that makes it credible, and a question. The question matters because the goal of a pitch is a conversation rather than a decision.

The pitch changes with who is listening

A customer wants to know what it does for them. An investor wants to know how big it gets and why you. A supplier or partner wants to know what working with you involves. The same facts, ordered differently.

Resist the numbers you cannot stand behind. A pitch that invents a market size or a growth rate falls apart at the first follow-up question, which is the one part of a pitch you cannot rehearse.

Prefer this running automatically, on every sale, with no manual entry?

Frequently asked questions

How long should an elevator pitch be?
About 30 seconds, which is roughly 75 words when spoken at a normal pace. Most written pitches are two or three times that and cannot actually be delivered, which you discover by reading one aloud.
What should the pitch open with?
The problem the listener already recognises, not your company name. Someone who nods at the first sentence is listening to the second; someone being introduced to a business they have never heard of is not.
Does the pitch change for an investor?
Yes, which is why it is an option here. A customer wants to know what it does for them; an investor wants the size of the opportunity and why you are the one to take it. Same facts, different order and emphasis.
Should I include numbers?
Only ones you can stand behind, because the follow-up question is the part you cannot rehearse. One specific, true figure is worth more than three impressive ones you have to qualify.
How should the pitch end?
With a question, not a close. The purpose of a pitch is to start a conversation, and a question hands the other person something to do with what they just heard.
