'Themify' Your Value

You've probably heard of an elevator pitch as a way to persuasively explain something quickly and concisely (in the time it takes to ride in an elevator). We prefer to call it a value introduction.

And your message is more effective if the receiver listens and finds value in it. So make it about them, or 'Themify' to help them understand how their life might be changed for the better!

Best Practices

THEMIFY

1) concentrate on, be about or direct to others 2) making something of, relating something to, or focusing something on others rather than self 3) replacing "I", "Me", "We", "Us" with "You", "They", "Them", or corresponding proper nouns

Craft your best Themified Value Introduction (Elevator Pitch) to use in any situation that calls for helping people hear, understand, and remember something that could benefit them.

As you develop your introductions, keep these basic best practices in mind:

Be Your Best Customers - what pains and desires do they have? What emotions do your solutions evoke? How can you make their life better?
Use imagery, reference something they are familiar with, or inject some humor
Rather than what YOU do, communicate what's in it for THEM, replacing 'I' and 'We' with words like 'You' or 'Clients'
Keep it clear and concise, briefly answering each of the 5 W's
Only one message! You may have plenty to share, but they won't hear any of it if you try to share all of it
Always finish with something they can remember and easily act on
