I'd nearly forgotten about the "Elevator Pitch", which would be useful to me as I try and get my site/blog out into the world.
Makes me wonder, though, what happens if the elevator stops?

If the elevator stops and our listener walks out...walk out with him! You have to be persistent and if he really doesn't want you to follow I guess he will just have to say so. Elevator pitching is just like dating, if you are afraid of rejection you will end-up being a crazy cat lady!
Good luck with your ventures.

The chance of the elevator getting stuck is so small I don't see any reason to prepare yourself for it. If it happens, improvise. If you can't do that you shouldn't be running a company anyway. If your prospect is interested it's a great chance to hold your meeting right then and there. Where is he going to go?
This brings another thought to mind - what if you can't get the guys attention and you press the emergency stop button so you do? It's a bold move and the conversation could move in a very positive or very negative direction - but at least it will me moving!
