There you are in the elevator of your high-rise, headed to the 45th floor with at least 2 mins of time stuck in a box with complete strangers. Here’s a few examples of an elevator pitch that you can use to sign-up some new volunteers for animals.
You: “Save any lives this weekend?”
Them: “Uh, no.”
You: “Oh that’s right saving the lives of animals is for those of us on the 45th floor. Sorry, my bad.”
You: saying nothing but grinning at them
Them: “Can I help you with something?”
You: “Nope. Just thinking about those animals I saved over the weekend. I’m an animal rescue hero you know.”
Them: “I want to smile like you. Tell me more.”
You: “I’ve got a beautiful roommate who walks around naked all of the time.”
Them: “Uh, ok. That’s good for you.”
You: “Yup. And she lies on my couch all day too while I’m at work.”
Them: “How nice.”
You: “Isn’t it? I know where you can get one too you know.”
You: “I do Doobert. Do you do Doobert?”
Them: “What’s a Doobert?”
You: (looking aghast) “You don’t Doobert? Do you even LIKE animals?”
Them: “Yes I like animals. What’s a Doobert?”
You: “Doobert is like Uber for rescue animals. And you get free puppy kisses!”
Them: “How do I Doobert?”
You: “My foster dog is smarter than your kid you know. He potties all by himself”
Them: “I don’t have a kid.”
You: “Well then. You DEFINITELY need to foster an animal. Your life is incomplete”
Them: “Now that I think about it, my life is incomplete. You’re right!”
You: “10th floor. Puppies and kittens needing foster homes. And I just happen to have applications you can fill out.” [Pro tip: make sure you actually have applications for them to fill out]
