In the business world, the "elevator pitch" is a well known method of generating interest in your idea or promoting yourself in a quick, concise way. The idea is that if you are on an elevator ride with someone, he/she is a captive audience for anywhere from 30 seconds to two minutes. If you can get their attention or generate interest in your issue in that time, the conversation is likely to continue after the elevator ride, or at least result in the exchange of business cards or setting up an appointment for further discussion.,

Feel free to respond to the pitches from your classmates. Be professional at all times. Ask questions. Challenge assumptions.
