ICP means ideal customer profile. UVP means unique value proposition. Both should be clear in your short elevator pitch. What is an elevator pitch? It is a concise and persuasive speech that you use to spark interest in what you provide. It should be no longer than a short elevator ride, hence the name, be clear (no jargon), and should be able to capture someone's attention and leave them wanting to know more. A good pitch clearly conveys a solution that resonates with your ICP, while encouraging a connection. 1 Picture yourself getting into an elevator ground floor with your ICP (ideal customer profile). 2 Each floor on average takes maybe 10 seconds. So, you have 10 seconds to pique the initial ICP interest between the ground floor and the first floor. 3 The objective is to get the ICP interested enough before you hit the 1st floor in order to to ask you more questions. 4 If the ICP likes what they hear and wants to know more, you move to the 2nd floor and are permitted to add some more context about your UVP (unique value proposition) 5 Each time the ICP likes what they hear, you move up another floor and have more time to elaborate and provide a deeper understanding. But, you MUST clearly grab that attention on the ground floor, otherwise you don't get to move to the 1st floor conversation. Remember, "confused minds do not buy", so leave the technical jargon at home. Simples. Let's play a game and see who can move up to the top floor ... share your elevator ground floor pitch below PS opinions may vary, I only speak to my own and if I would like to know more. #elevatorpitch #storytellingforbusiness
