60 second elevator pitch for ATS

I hear a lot of businesses talk about the 60 second elevator pitch. I keeping thinking of the pitch I might use when talking about ATS to friends and colleagues.

And have considered this:

ATS is the internet's leading conspiracy and political discussion board, offering its members the opportunity to discuss and debate major issues impacting all our lives, in an intelligence, curtsey and professional manner. We have forums dedicated to the major conspiracy and political issues of the day, and enable our members to use a range of media tools to present ideas and concepts on key conspiracy and political issues.


What do other members think?

Good pitch. I haven't been here that long, so please take what I say with a grain of salt.

I would try to work in "unbiased, alternative news" and cut back on "conspiracy," as that may turn off a lot of people. I come here mainly for the news/science stuff myself, but do like reading about the different conspiracy theories to get alternative views of events.

Just my thoughts.

Not a pitch without some merit... I'm normally trapped in elevators (I blame Thyssen) mostly with folks I don't know. Two things come to mind... the noxious personal-fumes of chemically adorned folk and the cycle/foot couriers (without whom many businesses would flounder).

"Pitch" by a stranger in our workplace while trapped? You might consider the possible negative reactions. Look out for my EA! She marries people-off whether they want to or not, you'll never get a word in... Me? I'd just call Patience, Gerd and Atilla in security.

Put an ATS decal or the URL on a T-Shirt, bike, tat' or backpack of a courier and one might have a better chance of spreading the word to those who would choose to have an interest.

Some folks will see and appreciate the difference in approach. The elevator pitch-direct is a "forced" thing - no choice but to endure and possibly revile. The passive approach piques curiousity and offers a choice - some folks prefer choice.

Cheers,

Vic

no no no, what you should say is

"Oi AboveTopSecret.com it's wicked, but you ain't smart enough ya daft pikey!"

Then run like a bat outta hell screaming and waving ya arms..

That'll spike their interest!

In these more enlightened days, not sure if you can still use the term "pikey" but your post made me smile

I simply tell people that their government has killed and will kill again and if they have any love for future generations they will hold me in their arms while I tell them about a website that can save us all.

Then I sing "China Grove" really loud until they comply.

Strangely I have never had the opportunity to use any elevator pitch in an elevator. I have been thinking about this as I have been discussing importants with friends.

I have revised the pitch in ligh of some of the interesting comments posted.
