When you get your Elevator Pitch right...

by Brett Wangman — last modified Aug 11, 2009 04:05 PM

In preparation for ASAE09, I've been thinking about the process of introducing strangers to TCAG in 60 seconds or less.

As an owner of a company, it is ultimately my responsibility to develop our company's elevator pitch -- Those quick couple of sentences that positions our organization in the marketplace.

I recently wrote the following for our Solution Partner listing at Higher Logic, one of our business partners.  After looking at a day later, I like it... Now as a former advertising copywriter, I am sure that I will continue to read and tweak it.  But for a couple hours, at least, I am just going to leave it alone.  Take a read and let me know what you think.

Elevator Pitch for TCAG:

The Center for Association Growth (TCAG) is a uniquely positioned solution provider to associations and non-profits.  As an association management company (AMC) with deep technology expertise and collaboration management experience, we understand what it takes to grow associations in a Web 2.0 world.  Our OPENAssociations platform combines the best open source and Software-as-a-Service applications into one integrated solution, backed by proven management services.
