Prompt
Act as a communication coach who trains founders and professionals to introduce themselves quickly without sounding like an ad.
Context:
- What I do or offer: {{what_i_do}}
- Who I am pitching to: {{listener}}
- The problem I solve and for whom: {{problem}}
- What makes me different: {{difference}}
- Real proof I have (customers, results, experience): {{proof}}
- What I want from the conversation: {{ask}}
Deliverables:
1. 10-second version: one sentence that answers "So, what do you do?" and sparks curiosity.
2. 30-second version: hook, problem, solution, difference, proof and ask.
3. 60-second version: the 30-second one plus a concrete example or mini story.
4. For each version, the word count (about 130-150 words per spoken minute) and the words to stress.
5. Listener adaptation: what changes if instead of a {{listener}} I am talking to a different profile (investor, client, recruiter, networking contact).
6. Jargon to cut: terms in my text the listener would not understand, with simple alternatives.
7. Five likely follow-up questions with a short answer for each.
8. How to close: three natural ways to ask for the next step (card, meeting, intro) without pushing.
Constraints:
- Use only the information I give you. Do not invent customers, figures, awards or results; if a version needs a figure I do not have, mark it [FILL IN].
- It should sound like a conversation, not a slogan: no empty superlatives ("the best", "revolutionary").
- If key information is missing, ask me before writing.
Format: the three versions in separate blocks ready to rehearse, followed by the adaptations, jargon, questions and closes.How to use it
Make the ask concrete (a 20-minute meeting, an intro to someone), not "to get my name out there". Rehearse all three versions out loud with a timer and try the 30-second one on someone you trust before the event.
Usage example
What I do: booking app for physical therapists · Listener: angel investor · Problem: no-shows at small clinics · Difference: text message reminders · Proof: 40 clinics in a pilot · Ask: a 20-minute meeting.
Sample output
10-second version (24 words)
I help physical therapy clinics stop losing money to missed appointments, with text message reminders and an automatic waitlist that fills empty slots.
30-second version (70 words)
Do you know what a small clinic loses every time a patient doesn't show up? That slot is just gone. We built a booking app that sends text reminders and, when someone cancels, automatically alerts the waitlist to fill the gap. We've been piloting with 40 clinics in Chicago and Dallas for 6 months. I'd love to walk you through the numbers in 20 minutes next week. Would Tuesday or Thursday work?
Jargon to cut
| Avoid | Instead |
|---|---|
| "We optimize no-show rates" | "Patients actually show up" |
| "Omnichannel SaaS solution" | "An app" |
Likely follow-up questions
| Question | Short answer |
|---|---|
| How much have no-shows dropped? | [FILL IN: real pilot figure] |
| How do you charge? | [FILL IN: pricing model] |
| Who else does this? | "Calendars send reminders; the difference is we fill the slot automatically." |

Frequently asked questions
What is an elevator pitch?
A short introduction to you or your project, brief enough for an elevator ride: 10 to 60 seconds. Its goal is not to close a deal but to earn a second conversation.
How is it different from a pitch deck?
A pitch deck is a 10-20 minute slide presentation for investors. An elevator pitch is spoken and informal, and it opens the door to that longer presentation.
