Additional Tips
•
Write down and practice your Elevator Pitch.
•
Ask for feedback from friends, mentors, and
the CDC. CDC walk-ins are a great way to practice
this and solicit feedback.
•
Your elevator pitch should not sound scripted.
Don’t memorize it word for word, but focus on the
key points and ideas you want to convey to your
audience.
•
Record your elevator pitch so you can hear it and
correct any obvious shortcomings.
•
Make it conversational. Don’t feel that you have
to get through your whole pitch when you talk to
someone. Allow for pauses and input from your
listener.
•
Make an appointment with the CDC to practice
your Elevator Pitch.
