I recently spoke about how the application for Mass Challenge required that I answer around 20 questions in a very limited amount of characters. It got me thinking about how the message is delivered. We talked about the need to get your ideas across - hopefully without jargon. Lesson: it is imperative to make everything very clear in as few words as possible. Everyone should be able to understand.
So moving on from our abbreviated answers, I posted a rocket pitch video – pithy and just over 1 minute. Keeping in mind that the goal is to pitch in the time of a standard elevator ride. Again, if you're lucky enough to be in an elevator with someone who can help your company out, let 'em have it, and get it right.
After that, if you're asked to give more, have some slides ready. 10 minutes tops. We'll talk about good presentation form next time.
Cheers,
Brian

Love this post and love how concise it is. Given the speed of life in this day, it seems that if you don't get your message across in less than three minutes, it doesn't get heard. Great article!
