More on the 30 second commercial

In the last post I talked about the Elevator Pitch contest that the State of Connecticut and Microsoft held for small businesses. 26 participants each gave a one minute pitch on their business. I learned a lot at the contest including how long a minute is when people are talking about stuff you are not interested in. That's why I strongly advocate setting your pitch to know more than 30 seconds. If you are interesting or if your companion is interested in your business then you can expand on your pitch and fill in a lot of details. Keep it short and simple.
