A Visual Elevator Pitch

A Visual Elevator Pitch I just found a blog post from GL Hoffman (via Dave Opton of Execunet) about an idea to share your elevator pitch visually. GLs blog post, The New Visual Elevator Pitch, has some examples of his idea. Ive seen many job seekers put various types of statements on their business cards but I have two problems with this: The space on a business card is so small that the message they have is very small font and, for me, hard to read.  ESPECIALLY if they have multiple statements (Ive seen cards with three or for value prop statements). The messaging they have on the card sounds jargony. Some business card afficionados might argue that another negative of having this on the back of your card means people cant write their own notes on your card because there isnt enough white space. GL proposes that you create 46 postcards and make the more visually appealing I love the idea. it kind of fits into a this isnt my resume, but its a document you can easily digest and hopefully be interested in more category. What do you think? See GLs post for more description and two examples of the document.
