Elevator Pitch Coaching

Project details

What we need
  • Document outlining feedback on pitch delivery with suggested next steps and/or resources
  • A script for a 1-minute verbal pitch that communicates your Organization's mission, work, and why people should care
Additional details

I am looking to promote our non-profit organization which helps the homeless and hungry in our area.

What we have in place
  • I am a former reporter for more than a decade. I am now the development director at a non-profit that helps the homeless and hungry. I am lost on my elevator pitch. I feel I do it different each time. I need help narrowing it and taking all the best bits and making it smooth.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,308 , allowing us to help more of our clients end their homelessness.

I am a face that people often see when donors and volunteers come in contact with my organization. It is important that I come across as professional and confident.
