You might say something like “I teach residential real estate agents to increase their new client base and property listings by 20% within 30 days.” Or if you were a life-coach specializing in balancing work and home life you might say “I teach busy professionals how to balance work and home life to make them 10% more productive on the job and 100% happier at home.” There are several important factors in your elevator speech. First you need to be able to describe what you do in a few words, not an entire paragraph. Second you need to communicate exactly who your target market is. In the first example we targeted residential real estate agents, ruling out commercial agents. Third you need to deal with what I call the “so what” factor.
