Your Elevator Pitch Is Ending Conversations—Here’s What to Say Instead
You’ve got 30 seconds to be brilliant. And most of the time, that “elevator pitch” you polished at 2 a.m. is closing conversations faster than it opens doors.
In this episode of the Sales Pulse Podcast, Marla Koupal exposes the quiet truth about networking: your intro probably isn’t sparking anything. Especially not curiosity.
If you’ve ever fumbled through a tagline that sounded more like a billboard than a conversation starter—this one’s for you.
We’re talking about The Spark Pulse:
🟢 What it is
🟢 Why it works
🟢 How to write your own so that strangers lean in and say, “Tell me more.”
Real talk. No scripts.
Just human, curious, and compelling sales language that lands.
