I think probably 65% of the time, when I ride an elevator, I think, at least briefly, about the film Sliding Doors, starring Gwyneth Paltrow (rawr!). No offense to those art-intensive individuals who certainly worked very hard to bring this film into the world, but, if I remember right, it essentially sucked. So, why do I think about this film, at least briefly, on approximately 2/3 of my elevator rides? I have no idea. I also think of getting stuck on the elevator and having to relieve myself in the elevator shaft on approximately 100% of my elevator rides, so maybe the Sliding Doors thing isn’t really that big of a deal.
My point is that elevators are so great, and so shiny, and they ushered in the Era of the Skyscraper.
However, the best part of an elevator is thinking about The Elevator Pitch. I’m sure you know this, but The Elevator Pitch is like, if your perfect potential client happened to get on the elevator with you, and you had 30 seconds to sell them on your brand, what would you say? What’s the pitch?
Here, then, is The Elevator Pitch for texting with RateNow.
