what is "elevator speech"?

hello every body I am an english student and actually I have a little problem to understand what´s the meaning of "elevator speech" and how I can use it, could you teach me please?


An “elevator speech” (sometimes called an “elevator pitch”) is the very short description a person should be ready to deliver if they want to “sell” someone on an idea, a company, or maybe themselves as a potential employee.  Because important people are busy, you often only get a very small amount of time to impress them – roughly the amount of time it takes to ride an elevator (1-2 minutes at most).  Some business people refine and practice their “elevator speech” over and over again so that they can deliver it quickly and professionally. The goal is to make a good “first impression” so that the other person wants to hear more or maybe asks for your business card.
