Creating a Strong Sales Pitch

https://sportscareersinstitute.wordpress.com/2014/…

Read the article and write a sales pitch (elevator pitch). As the article states: “The personal sales pitch is composed of three sections – a summary of your resume (I will attach my resume); a listing of your skills, abilities and traits; and a description of your current situation. A person should be able to recite the entire pitch in less than two minutes. The entire pitch will be used for answering questions such as “Tell me about yourself” or “Why should we hire you”.

So, write a pitch about yourself as if you were going to interview for an internship position – that I can read in about two minutes (must be at least 1 minute and 45 seconds and no more than 2 minutes) – double spaced, 1” margins, Times New Roman font with only your name in the top left or right hand corner of the document. You will receive full or partial credit based on the thought you put into this pitch and the thoroughness of the pitch. Remember this is a professional development course – so you should have begun thinking about being that professional.
