The best "Elevator Pitch" of the World?

- We've read a lot of excellent tips regarding the best way to build and deliver an elevator pitch design to draw attention for our project.
This is a perfect example of an "elevator Pitch", given in "The Dilemma" (2011), the Movie. It summarizes probably everything at the best, and shows how you can build a very convincing story in only 2 minutes.
WARNING: the term "gay" is used in this movie. Before everyone could feel offended and complain about it, it's worth mentioning that "gay" has several definitions. in this video, the correct meaning is: "A gay object is brightly coloured and pretty to look at." (Collins Dictionary). It is obvious that the term "gay" used here does not refer to a "homosexual person".

Ha! Not an elevator pitch but truly one of the best pitches out there. Great work.
The first line draws your attention 😂
Elevator pitch is the name of the concept when you sell your idea in a minute or so
@@TheSamuelbest12 In less than 40 seconds. It's called elevator pitch because the scenario through which you come up with a "short and to the point" advertisement of sorts, whether it is yourself or a product, would be that you stepped into an elevator with someone you want to make a good impression to. Typically, the time spent in an elevator is from 20-40 seconds.
😂😂😂😂
Oh God 😂😂😂
I dying of laughter here 😂😂😂
Do clients allow us to play emotional background music during pitching?
I wouldn't recommend it except if you include your pitch in a movie like this one (The Dilemma, 2011)
It is not allowed in some countries. Be sure to understand what your country permits first.
just bring your trumpet along and start puuu pupu puuuuuu when the clue part comes up hehe
@@fortunennamdi wut
hahaha so true! the music helps, well in the movie

You get in an elevator with your target that can't run away from you. You're supposed to have an idea pitched to your target in under a minute. It's successful if your targets gives you a follow up appointment, etc. Timing and space is key.

I mean, it's not specifically an *elevator* pitch (more like a sales pich) but it has a very hooked up beginning and is made up using vivid details, great visuals (using words) and its extremely easy to remember besides being absolutely unique, also has that "people buy into people" (specially at the end with "Nick Brennan") and i the speaker interacts and relates a lot with the audience using questions , references, memories, jokes and street talk. I mean , its daring and perhaps he didn't talk to much about that technology of them but it's not a bad pitch at all.
Bet your fun at parties eh?
@@musheopeaus4125 The parties you are having fun at will be hosted by him, man.
@@akshatambekar touche my good man ! I salute your good comment . I bow down
That's a nice analysis... What would you recommend for someone who wants to get really good at elevator pitch or a sales pitch...
The lesson here is to attract with unexpected approaches and be confident.
Maybe it's a lesson, but it's also possible that it's a fiction.
As a scientist, what I liked in this video was the fact they don't explain how their system works but try to convince people to see what it could bring to their business. This is a great value proposition. We - scientists and engineers - tend to explain with plenty details how our technology works without questioning if people would need it.
You generally don't have Powerpoint presentation set up in an elevator. An elevator pitch shouldn't rely on visuals.
It's about emotions dude!
“Elevator” refers to the amount of time it takes you to make your pitch. Can you get your point across during an elevator ride? Elevator pitches are supposed to be bite-size.

This isn't an elevator pitch. You can, of course, put "quotes" around it, but it still doesn't make it an elevator pitch.
You raise an interesting question. How do you define an elevator pitch? What is its main goal?
Well, an elevator pitch is selling a certain image of yourself. It isn't making a convincing story, but in the realm of professional identity it's about showcasing your best qualities and what sets you apart. If anything this is a sales pitch which is different.
An elevator pitch is always about selling something. If not, there's no need to deliver one. You don't deliver an elevator pitch if you don't want to create interest in yourself (hence, you are selling yourself) or a product you offer. Of course, this is a movie and the long story is made short. In real life, after this pitch, there would be discussions about what they offer, how they will make it, and which budget is required...
I like this example because my main contribution is toward scientists (and I'm one of them) who use to believe that you can convince if you explain well and in details. This example illustrates how a convincing pitch can be done without (almost) describing the "how" (just a couple of seconds at the end), but addressing the problem and the feeling achieved by the solution they offer.
Personally, if I need to describe my professional identity, I would better use a brand mantra that can summarize what I'm doing, and especially why I'm doing it.
An elevator pitch is short. That's why it's called an elevator pitch. You make it in an elevator before the person you're talking to get's to his floor.
vegan luna making an elevator pitch doesn’t set you apart. You and others making these little speeches make it easier for genuine people to get jobs by being real and not using canned pitches employers hear thousands of times from nameless,faceless people. Straight from HRs mouth to you
“What if I told you, we could make almost all people fall in love with your cars and become fanatics of your brand! Here’s my number, give me a call if you’re interested in become #1 in transportation. Oh here’s my stop, by the way, I’m Don Draper” that’s an elevator pitch for this.
Exactly. Well said.
@Replicant2600 You nailed it!!
-what if i told you-
@@davidchilufya4247 absolutely, even better.
this just sounds like an annoying salesman. Do people really fall for this??
You see how that man and the top of the table raises his head, that's pure mint, have their attention and never let go.
I like the spark that old man's eyes when he sees the true cars.. vroom vrooooom vroooooooooom
Get audiences attention and start to elevated pitch . Very nice presentation.
Great video, thank you as always 😊
Thanks for the video, idk why everyone is getting mad about this example since it has some great ideas about how to get and keep the attention of the audience on your presentation.
Because it's a totally waste of time, he doesn't even present a mvp, he proposed something vague and poorly constructed
@@Maariel546 exactly, they'd surely like the homosexual joke, but wouldn't take you seriously and move on to the next project
i was waiting for them talking about elevators
Came here after the reveal of the new Dodge Banshee. It took 11 years, but Dodge finally put Nick's technology to work
Back in the day, I drove around in a 66 GTO. I would definitely buy an electric car with the R&R and sexiness of “The Goat”.
the BGM adds power to his speech,
That is not an elevator pitch
I won't argue about what is a perfect elevator pitch since there are different types. But all try to convince people that there's something interesting there... For the video, I like it because it's a good example for scientists and engineers, who tend to over-explain. In this movie, this pitch (call it elevator or not), is based on convincing better than explaining. In this pitch, the technical description is only a couple of seconds in the end. For people with a business background, it may seem obvious, but it's not for scientists and engineers. Cheers. Eric
@@ericprouzet3851 It is _not_ an elevator pitch, by any stretch of the imagination, stop pretending it is. 🙄
The Queen’s hair never disappoints ever!!😩✌🏾
This was SUCH an amazing scene 🤩♥️
Title of the movie please 🥺
if you are doing a presentation and everyone else hearing it without engaging in something, that means your presenting in the right way.
Or they are board, and you lost them.
An elevator pitch of 2:25...
Dayum, that’s gotta be one long ass elevator!!
After all... The sky is the limit! Best. Eric
Maximum length of An elevator speech is 10sec.
On the other hand, This video snippet is great combination of getting the attention and implementing well defined sales pitch 10/10.
10 seconds? You would only be able to get your name and job out in 10 seconds. Most elevator pitches are 20-30
I have to do an Elevator Pitch for a class and this is my reference xD
Thanks. Be sure to take note of the definition of "gay" in my video description, to avoid any confusion from the audience. Also, you can analyze the video by timing the different parts of the pitch. I could share with you a video where the different parts are highlighted if you are interested.
@@ericprouzet3851 As an experienced account manager I doubt this would be a good way to pitch a big company in a meeting. You don't really discredit or contextualize existing products or lines to forward your own proposal, you present the untapped markets they are losing revenues to. You can contextualize to compare markets, but never to discredit one; unless they are directly correlated. What most people forget or straight up romanticize is that when you're pitching a group of people you only need to lose one of them to lose them all. Having a "special" pitch just won't work, you're genuinely dependant on having a good product. Of course presentation is important, but reality is often disappointing. The reality nowadays is that by the time you have a meeting like this booked most of the work has been done via the phone, mail, and teams meetings. And with my experience, with companies this big it is more of a conversation than a sales meeting.
The elevator pitch is useful when you're at networking events. It is also used commonly for stand sales and cold sales. But for the love of god don't use it in meetings or with leads. Overly energetic or optimistic pitching does not work with big companies.
@@ericprouzet3851 Would really appreciate
James Cameron's pitch, for Titanic: "Romeo and Juliet, on a boat."
The clip shown was NOT an elevator pitch.
This is mostly a "high-level concept." Explaining a product by comparison with something else well-known.
Such a great video. Such a good presentation. Very nice keep it up... Lovely
How is this consider the best? In anyones eyes? Its like a 4/10. Ill give it a 5 n thats just being generous
Lets be honest. Its a zero.
Let's give it an -1. Let's get rid of every dream and a good presentation. Let's be old dudes with no emotions lol
The guy was able to explain his point of view. This is great. But this is not enough to be the best pitch. The best pitch talks more about the person in front of you and also kill objections. But clearly the guy was talking more about his company and creating objections. I didn't watch the movie to say if they had deal, but in real life people tend to not take the action you want them to take, if they have objections.
Yes. I agree. I think its best to discover the investor's issues with the product to see if they can be resolved so that both companies can collaborate towards the success of the goal or idea. What this video demonstrates is two people with the attitude of "we have a great idea, and we dont like answering questions seriously." And then thinking being cute at the end is going to secure the deal. I think it's unreasonable to think that will work.
I agree 100%, this is great in movies but in real life your prospects would be very confused
This movie came out in 2011. And I think it's hilarious that Dodge ...yes, DODGE Is the last auto manufacturer to go for the electric format. This movie sub plot was ahead of the current times we live in.
What's the movie title please???
Dodge saw this and created 2024 Electric Charger Daytona SRT Banshee!! This was genius and ahead of its time.
The bunny and kitten make me laugh out loud every time
Nice speech and clear statement
I see, the key is background music. I tried it last month, still waiting for response. :)
I’m out here looking for a good elevator speech example for my class and this comes up 😂
First, remember it's a comedy movie. However, what I appreciate about this video is it's focused on what a first pitch should be: highlighting the problem, creating a connection with the audience, and offering a solution (or a better solution), not focusing on the details of the solution.
Also, if you have comments on the use of the "gay" term, check on my description that explains why the use of this term here is not offending because with a different (and traditional) meaning.
Ugh! I remember finding out they shot scenes of this movie right under my job location on my off day...I was heavily into Vince Vaughn and Kevin James at the time...
Came here after Dodge announced the Electric Charger with the engine noise 😂 Also MKBHD made a great point about people searching the term “electric charger” trying to find the car.
Was searching for an elevator pitch example and half way thru the video it just reminds me the new Electric Charge🤣
Fun fact, there's a company in uk that does this and I think become invested in it
I think YOU become in it!!
I am writing a screenplay and listening to 30 sec pitches...I came across THIS. Love it.
Thanks. Of course, it's a movie, not a real-life example. People comment on IF it's an actual elevator pitch or not. What I liked was how he sells his project without even talking about the technology itself, but about the customer value. If people in marketing know it already, I think it's an excellent example for scientists and engineers who believe that the more you explain, the better it is...
@@ericprouzet3851 I agree that less is more from an engineering team... I’m not a scientist but if I’m a consumer I like to know something about how a product works. Just give me the gist of what something does and how it does it, but I don’t need to get bogged down with details. Of course, then again that sort of mildly curious but not overly questioning attitude is what got society into its current worldwide predicament. Sometimes it really is important to know the details.
@@marjoriemorris5849 Hi Marjorie, to follow up with your kind comment, we must keep in mind that this is not a tutorial for creating the best pitch, but only a funny movie. You make a very important point: as a consumer, you expect something like more technical information on the product you could buy. First, this means that you are not an "early adopter" (I'm not either as I don't buy a thing without checking reviews, etc.). Secondly, it illustrates that a pitch must be designed for a specific audience. Here, it's not to customers, but to manufacturers. As a scientist and engineer, what I liked in this sequence was the fact that they give a full pitch without giving a single word on how they will proceed. In other words, they focus on the value the car company could get, not on the function they will deliver. This can seem obvious for people in marketing and communication, but scientists and engineers tend to think that they must explain all the details of their new invention to convince people to buy it. Best. Eric
Nice speech, clear statement
Can you kindly provide the background song link pls.
Was actually expecting someone to pitch a real elevator concept in comparison to say stairs 😂😆guess am wrong
how would you fit a big screen in an elevator?
What car are they selling?
the best video of all time
the best sales pitch
This is just happy sauce. I get the "movie feeling" but things go a bit deeper than the heart-felt goodness movies provide. I've never seen this one. personally. Can someone help me out to find and watch more than just a short clip? Thanks in advance for any help!
Hi, the movie title is in the description. Have a nice day.😀
You call that "the best elevator pitch" of the world?
Because it wasn't?
Yeah like the fuck.
This is proof that a great hook always works. And don't forget I put a question mark! Best. Eric

Well at least there are enough ideas.
@@zubairanwar2357 I heard ideas are worthless without the ability to execute them though

I wouldn’t invest. Masculine focused pitches alienate the female market, halving my potential ROI. It was also very ‘gimicky’ filled with sound bites that have no quantifiable evidence to say why they’re worth the investment. In terms of best elevator pitch ever, and considering I’ve heard a few thousand, I’d put this one in the junk category.
@@alcbaz female here and I don’t get alienated by “masculine-focused” pitches. For example, in this pitch they’re talking about muscle cars versus inarguably dweeby EVs. Classics appeal to me, and probably a lot of other women. Guys and gals both experience the same lack of power from an EV. No one has ever been able to convince me that they’re going to serve my purposes.
This is funny now that Dodge is developing e-muscle cars
At 1:50 when Kevin James describes “the aggressive sound character” it reminded me of the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe. That vehicle actually included sound effects to make the exhaust sound sportier. You had to put the suspension into sport mode, if I recall correctly. This was years after this movie came out.
I thought Captain America's gonna show up. The background sounds like it's from Captain America. LOL
Are u serious. I have one day to create and present a pitch and u wasted minutes of my life.
how did it go?
How was it man?

Is that Elon Musk with Tesla?
No, but we must confess that E.M. made electrical vehicles look "trendy", to sell them at an incredibly high price, even if he was not at the origin of the company and kicked the founder away if I remember well. There's still the underlying question on Tesla strategy: are they producing a true revolutionary product that will pave the way to a more sustainable future, or are they just selling another very expensive toy?... I don't have the answer. Best.
@@ericprouzet3851 very intriguing thought process. But people always buy into hype. Buy the hypes sell the news. I guess only time will tell
@@takeova189nadex7 Indeed, we saw many claims from EM in many areas but not so many deliveries. We should remember that Tesla Motors Inc. was founded in 2003 by the American entrepreneurs Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. E.M. invested and became the Chair in 2004. Since then, both co-founders have left the company (in 2008 if I'm right). So, what was the actual contribution of E.M. to the vision of the cofounders?...
@@ericprouzet3851 Easy...money. Either in cash, or stock. Believe me, they stepped aside so someone who could make make them MONEY could drive. They obviously weren't having any luck going that direction.
Maybe your right though...maybe he didn't contribute to the "Vision", but he DID contribute to their pocketbook.
FYI, today (09-22-2020), Tesla stock was up 31.33% and UP 779.31% over 1 year in 2020 (writing this in the middle of the COVID-19 Pandemic for future reference).
Maybe that's worth something...
@@joes6527 In my opinion, Tesla is building very expensive toys and E.M. was extremely successful in creating hype for this type of gadget. Will EV save the world? When we look at the strategic resources in lithium and rare earth elements, I have some doubts. But, as I said, it's only my opinion.

why is there an actual "click" sound when he shifts the slide, like he's operating a carousel

I teach innovation to scientists. As scientists, we tend to believe that people will follow us if we give a full and logical explanation. And this is what we do when we try to convince business people to support and fund our projects: we explain again and again with thousands of details. This video is only a funny example from a family movie, nothing more, and certainly not a master class on elevator pitch. However, it's a good example as they spend most of their time to share the feeling about the emotion customers should have with their innovation, instead of explaining how it will work. This was my motive for sharing this video. Then, I use the title as a good example of a hook: when you claim that something could be the best, or the first, etc, you create some polarizing reaction with people who follow you and others who reject it. At the end of the day, this short funny (for me) video is hitting almost 700,000 views, far above my other videos focused on real teaching and training. Do you think that a title like "An example of elevator pitch" would have the same impact? This is a well-known marketing trick, and I wanted to check if it works (I'm not in marketing at all). The proof is that it does. Best. Eric
