The Elevator Pitch
How to use teams and groups to rate your game.......
One of the most insightful sales training strategies is the "Elevator Pitch". This game allows employees to pitch the company in their own words. The objective of this game is to help team members practice their timed pitching skills, a critical competency for all salespeople.
How do you rate your game? It is often best to lean on your mates to score your pitch. Refine, replace and update your messaging to meet the moment. We often get a few minutes in the sales game to send an attractive message to resonate with our prospects and even people we just met..........
As part of the Elevator Pitch activity, you should give employees 10 to 15 minutes to brainstorm. During that time, participants should develop a quick pitch describing the company. Once the brainstorming portion of the game is complete, each employee should receive 40 seconds to deliver their sales pitch to the rest of the team.
After each teammate has shared their pitch, the group can choose a winner based on the best content, delivery, and timeliness. We suggest giving away a valuable prize, such as a Starbucks gift card or an extra day of paid time off.
We have seen a great increase in team activity using proven techniques revolving around the quick messaging on purpose. Teams are a great to share and learn messaging. Learn more by contacting loren@toybox-experience.com
