How to Create an Elevator Pitch That Opens Doors

By Sean O'Shaughnessey

Seize the Moment—Even If It’s Only 30 Seconds

You’re at a networking event. Or in line at the airport. Or maybe, quite literally, in an elevator. Someone turns to you and asks, “So, what do you do?”

That question—simple as it is—can be the beginning of a great opportunity… or a missed one.

As a small company fighting for attention in a crowded market, you don’t have the luxury of wasting that moment. You need a clear, concise, and compelling elevator pitch to earn a second conversation.

The Purpose of an Elevator Pitch

Your elevator pitch—or Unique Selling Proposition (USP)—is your verbal business card. It should quickly communicate what you do in a way that intrigues the listener and invites them to want more.

Your goal isn’t to close a deal on the spot. It’s to spark curiosity. It’s to turn a casual chat into a qualified lead.

The Anatomy of an Effective Elevator Pitch

Let’s break down what makes a pitch effective—and memorable.

1. Start with a Clear, Impactful Statement

Skip the jargon. Skip your job title. Lead with value.

“I help company owners dramatically increase the market value of their company.”

That kind of opener gets attention. It invites the natural question: “How do you do that?”

2. Avoid the “AND” Trap

Trying to cram too much into your pitch dilutes your message. Avoid saying, “We do this AND that AND also this.”
Instead, focus on one powerful value proposition. If you confuse your listener, you’ll lose them.

3. Know Your Audience

Adapt your pitch to fit the moment and the person. You wouldn’t speak to a private equity investor the same way you would to a small business owner. Tailor your language, examples, and tone to resonate with the listener.

Use a Mini Case Study with the PONI Method

If you have 10 more seconds of their attention, use it to share a brief, compelling client success story using the PONI method:

Project: What challenge did your client face or what were they trying to accomplish?
Old: How did they do that before?
New: What did you provide that changed things?
Impact: What was the measurable result?

“One of my clients leveraged increased revenue to grow their company’s market value by 167% in just 10 months.”

That’s the kind of story that gets remembered.

Don’t Forget the Ask

Close by inviting the next step:

“I’d love to share how we did it—can we schedule a follow-up conversation?”

That one line can turn a random encounter into a real opportunity.

Becoming a Trusted Advisor: Solve Problems, Not Just Sell Products

By Sean O'Shaughnessey

In B2B sales and sales leadership, problem-solving is an art that goes beyond selling a product or service. The secret to becoming a trusted advisor is addressing business problems, not just selling a product. This concept resonates with salespeople, sales managers, and small business CEOs who sell themselves or manage a team of salespeople.

Sales is not just about pushing a product or closing a deal; it’s about forging relationships, understanding businesses and their unique challenges, and offering solutions to these problems. The role of a trusted advisor is not to sell a product and become a trusted advisor, but rather to become a trusted advisor who can sell a product.

The reward for earning trusted advisor status is immeasurable. It is fantastic to receive a call from a client asking for advice on solving problems they have never discussed with you. Imagine having relationships that stand the test of time and outlast competition and challenges.

So, how does one become a trusted advisor and solve problems for clients rather than just selling them a great product? It starts with building a relationship from scratch. When starting with a prospect list or an ideal client profile, the goal is not to find anyone who will respond but to seek opportunities to build meaningful relationships.

The cornerstone of these relationships is reliability.

Are you always punctual?
Do you cancel at the last minute?
Do you forget to return phone calls?

These behaviors erode trust. On the other hand, showing up when needed, providing solutions even when they are not directly related to your product or service, and connecting clients to others who can help them are behaviors that build trust.

Becoming a trusted advisor also involves understanding and curiosity about the client’s business. Do you ask questions about how the prospective company makes and loses money, how it dealt with past challenges like the pandemic, and how it deals with current challenges like rising inflation or supply chain disruption? The aim is to understand the client’s business, challenges, and competitors and offer insights and parallels to other companies.

Two Tall Guys Talking Sales – From Regular Season to Postseason: Coaching Your Sales Team to Win – E128

By Sean O'Shaughnessey

As a sales leader, are you coaching your team for the long haul, or are you scrambling in the final weeks of the quarter? In this episode of Two Tall Guys Talking Sales, Kevin Lawson and Sean O’Shaughnessey break down the difference between regular season and postseason play—whether in sports or sales. They explore why last-minute Hail Mary strategies can be damaging, how to manage time, and the importance of effective and consistent coaching. With March Madness and The Masters as the backdrop, this conversation is packed with insights to help you refine your sales approach and ensure your team is always in winning form.

Key Topics Discussed

The Sales Tournament Mentality (00:02:00) – What sales teams can learn from March Madness and The Masters, and why only one team wins while the rest lose.
Building a Winning Sales Team (00:03:30) – How business owners can prepare their sales teams to perform under pressure by ensuring the right people are in the right seats.
The Role of Sales Coaching (00:05:00) – Why sales leaders must incorporate skills development into every sales meeting instead of just reviewing the pipeline.
The Pitfalls of End-of-Quarter Desperation (00:07:50) – How last-minute discounting and rushed deals create long-term problems and train customers to buy at a discount.
Mastering Time Management in Sales (00:10:00) – How prioritization and disciplined execution throughout the quarter prevent last-minute chaos and boost consistent performance.

Key Quotes

Kevin Lawson (00:07:53): “If you’re behind in sales right now, don’t throw Hail Marys. Don’t discount. You’re teaching your prospects to wait until the end of the quarter for a better deal—and that’s a losing game.”
Sean O’Shaughnessey (00:13:00): “You have one thing in sales you can never get back: time. If you wasted today, it’s gone forever. You can’t go back and fix it.”
Kevin Lawson (00:09:00): “Salespeople with commission breath stink. If your only focus is closing the deal before Friday, your prospects will smell it a mile away—and that’s not how you build relationships.”

A Significant Actionable Item from this Podcast

Develop a Five-Week Sales Training Plan – Sales leaders should map out the next five sales meetings, dedicating at least five minutes to skills development in each session. Focus on topics such as pipeline progression, prospect qualification, and closing techniques. Training should not be an afterthought—it should be a fundamental part of your sales strategy.

Why You Should Listen to This Episode

Whether you’re a sales leader or a frontline salesperson, this episode is your playbook for maintaining momentum all year long. Avoid the common traps of end-of-quarter desperation, build a disciplined approach to sales training, and master the art of time management. Just like in sports, sales success isn’t about last-minute heroics—it’s about consistent execution.

Driving Sales Performance with Strategic Competitive Analysis

By Sean O'Shaughnessey

Ever wonder why some sales teams consistently outperform their competitors while others struggle to close deals? The answer often lies in how well they understand and leverage competitive analysis in their sales process.

Let’s talk about competitive analysis in sales. It’s not just about knowing your competition – it’s about understanding how to use that knowledge to drive results. You need to grasp why prospects choose specific solutions over others and, more importantly, why they sometimes choose to do nothing at all.

Have you considered how many deals you’ve lost not to competitors but to indecision? These “no decision” outcomes often stem from a fundamental gap in prospect qualification. Intelligent sales professionals dig deeper, asking targeted questions about organizational priorities, resource allocation, and strategic initiatives. They understand that timing can be just as crucial as the solution itself.

The modern sales landscape demands a sophisticated approach to competitive analysis. Your success hinges on aligning your organization’s strengths with your prospect’s needs. But here’s the real question: Do you truly understand what your ideal client values most?

Many sales professionals miss the mark by focusing solely on feature comparisons. While product capabilities matter, they’re just one piece of the puzzle. The real power lies in understanding how your solution addresses your prospect’s challenges. This requires a comprehensive view of your competitive landscape, including direct and indirect competitors.

Think about your last few lost deals. What patterns emerge when you analyze the feedback? Every objection and hesitation after presenting pricing are valuable data points that should shape your competitive strategy. Your sales conversations must reflect a deep understanding of your prospect’s value metrics.
