Got Your Elevator Speech Ready?
You are the best public relations resource for Wilshire Rotary Club. But when someone asks you to describe what Rotary is or what your club does, do you find it difficult to answer quickly and simply? If so, you need an “elevator speech,” a brief prepared statement that simply and concisely explains Rotary and highlights of the club and its accomplishments in the community and the world. Keep the speech short. It should be no more than 30 or 60 seconds.
Focus on specific club projects and achievements. Give some general information about Rotary and explain the benefits you have received from being a Rotarian. Be specific as possible and avoid generalities such as “Rotary changed my life” and “Rotary has changed the world.”
Here’s a template to draft your elevator speech, then test and refine it until you have a simple, clear message that works for you.
