Hi Sylvia,

This is where I am with my elevator speech so far:
“I coach LOA savvy people who are ready to step more fully into their ‘true self’ by helping them to raise their vibrational level, allow what they want to come into their lives and to shine their light in the world.

Tag line – Are you ready to shine?

Any feedback gratefully received.

I like this. Are your potential ideal client responding well? A couple of questions I have as I read this are: is there any other specific thing about these “LOA savy” people that would make them a good match for working with you? And when you say you help them “raise their vibrational level” I find myself wondering what exactly that would give them? What’s the next level of benefit to raising your vibration? Seems to me exploring this may give you some more juicy benefit-oriented words to use.

Thanks Sylvia, I see what you mean. Since I was thinking that I will be mostly marketing for professionals; psychiatrists, therapists, psychologists, and life coaches, I was trying to hit a hummm….more reserved audience. I thought I should sound more “professional”, but maybe that turned out to be boring. Thank you for your suggestions. They sound wonderful! I just got home from a day clutter clearing and I feel exhilarated. I LOVE WHAT I DO! Life just doesn’t get any better than this.

I have two elevator speeches. I’m wondering if I need to have only one or if two could be helpful depending on my audience? Here goes. I’d love feedback!

1. I help clients who are overwhelmed with clutter to create orderly environments that support their emotional health.

2. I help people who are overwhelmed with clutter to create an orderly home and still keep what’s most important to them.

Claudia, I see you’ve done some great work and made lots of progress! Personally, I’d love to hear more of your uniqueness and passion come through. I get that you ‘create order,’ but I’m not hearing that you LOVE working with clutter and the people who make it (and I know this is unique about you). I still like the idea of saying something like “I LOVE working with clutter of any size – from a few piles of paper to mountains of chaos. I compassionately guide people to create peaceful order that lasts”…something like that.
