You have a great Project idea. You’ve done the work to prepare. You know what it will “cost”. You know the people that must be on your Team. But, you still have to sell the project.
Maybe you’ve already submitted your plan to a decision-maker. They’ve said: “If Ms. X will go for it, I’ll go for it. But, I haven’t had the time to meet with her yet.”
Then, on Tueday afternoon, you get into the elevator. At the next stop, Ms. X gets in with you. You have 15 seconds. How will you pitch your Project to her? Are you ready? Will you keep quiet?
Here’s a link to a site that focuses on how to make that 15 second pitch to sell your Project. At 15SecondPitch.com you can learn more about how to make your Project pitch. Or how to make a short pitch for any idea. Try it and see. Then, practice. You’ll be ready the next time you see your Ms. X.
