Write your elevator pitch based on this simple format from HBR blogger Babak Nivi. What's great about it is that he's written it and you fill in the blanks. Also, if you follow the link to elevator pitch, you'll be taken to a pitch maker where you're asked a series of questions with the result being your elevator pitch.
