How to Create a GREAT Elevator Pitch of Value Prop

I had the recent pleasure of participating in a web-based, distance learning session that featured Jim, alongside NFL Hall of Fame quarterback, Fran Tarkenton. Jim is a consummate professional with deep industry experience and an engaging presence. His presentation (though web-based) was extremely engaging and drew glowing feedback from participants. Jim's delivery of "Rock Stars in an Elevator" was unique and memorable. I'm excited about adopting Jim's approach to sharing my value proposition to drive awareness of how I can be of service to the marketplace. I highly recommend Jim!

Jim is one of a kind when it comes to teaching. He is a serial entrepreneur and studying International Business with him made it a real life experience in many ways. Several years have passed since then but until today he is always available to discuss ideas and give helpful advice. I often share the knowledge I gained in his class with people I meet in business and life. I would highly recommend Jim as a professor, mentor, or speaker.

Mr Jim Beach has been an excellent orator, an exemplary mentor and a guide and above all a cherished friend to all the budding Entrepreneurs at IIT Bombay during the three days he was here in Mumbai, India. I was fortunate enough to have spent most part of the three days with an experienced and seasoned Entrepreneur and a eclectic personality like Jim. He treated me as a close buddy all the way, Amongst the five workshops/talks he delivered, it was hard to chose which may have been the most useful, prominent and pertinent one. They all were very very good. I am biased towards the "Myths about Entrepreneurship" session by Jim, which not only cleared my doubts and misconceptions, but also confirmed some of the concepts I have known and have thence internalized, and it also helped me in forming a vision for myself and my future, vanquished my fears and installed a strong incentive and motivational drive in me to excel in the money-making-society-serving-being-our-own-boss part of life that we call Entrepreneurship. Amongst other things, I admire Jim's holistic and evergreen love for his family and his beautiful children, and his passion for being able to spend quality time with them. I am much the same in these regards.

Jim changed my life. I can only say that for a few people, but Jim thoroughly changed my life. I went to Graduate School in order to learn the skills necessary to continue working in International Business in Corporate America. Instead, I took Jim's entrepreneurship courses and learned how to work for myself. I also traveled to India, South Korea, and Japan with him as the instructor. My current career path is a direct result of the teaching and lessons of Jim Beach.

Any entrepreneur would benefit greatly from sitting in on Jim's classes. It's impossible not to be motivated and enthused while he engages you in the best educational experience I have ever participated in. His delivery, content, and depth of knowledge on all matters of entrepreneurship is beyond what I have ever experienced. His humor is a gift! Run, don't walk to sign up for one of his classes. You won't regret it.

Jim Beach was a professor of mine in business school. I had the pleasure of traveling with him through South Korea and Japan on a two week study abroad trip.

Never have I had a teacher/mentor who inspired me as much as Jim. He challenges you to the very core of your understanding as to what the world is, what the world could be, and what your role could be in that world.

He inspires ideas, challenges the logic of thought, and pushes his students beyond their known limits.

Jim Beach is by far one of the most capable educators, public speaker, and inspirational person I've had the pleasure to meet, learn from, and know as a friend.

Jim is a serial entrepreneur who can jump start your business creativity.

I had the privilege of taking two classes with Jim while in graduate school. His teaching style and love for entrepreneurship made his classes the most informative, interesting and useful of all my graduate courses. Jim genuinely wants his students to be successful in life, which I cannot say about most professors.

Jim is straight forward and honest and is one of the few professors that I will seek professional advice from in the future. You could not ask for a better entrepreneurship professor.
