July 06, 2017 |   5 minute read [Economic Development](https://blog.tangiblewords.com/topic/economic-development-attract-investors) ![How Do You Create a Sales Pitch That Attracts Investors to Your Economic Development Region?](https://blog.tangiblewords.com/hubfs/Attract-investors-with-an-elevator-pitch-feature.jpg) How do you create a sales pitch that attracts investors to your economic development region? You create an [investor-ready pitch](https://blog.tangiblewords.com/7-ways-to-improve-your-online-economic-development-communications) by clearly stating the opportunity (what’s available), the business advantage (why it’s better here), and the next step (how to explore it) in a concise, adaptable message you can tailor by sector, site, and investor priority. A strong pitch isn’t about saying everything—it’s about saying the right few things that make an investor want a follow-up conversation. ## 🔍 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1 What should an investor sales pitch include for an economic development region? Include three essentials: the opportunity (what's available), the advantage (why it's strong for their business), and the next step (tour, call, site package, or intro). Keep it buyer-focused and measurable when possible. 2 How long should an "elevator pitch" be? Aim for 20–30 seconds for the first version, then have a 60–90 second version ready if they ask follow-up questions. Shorter pitches create more room for a real conversation. 3 How do I adapt my pitch for different investors? Create versions by sector (manufacturing, tech, logistics, clean energy), by site/location, and by priority (workforce, infrastructure, incentives, speed-to-market). Swap in the most relevant proof points based on who you're speaking to. 4 What makes an economic development pitch memorable? Specificity and follow-up. Use a clear USP, one strong proof point, and a simple next step. Then follow up quickly with a one-page summary, relevant site info, and a clear action (schedule a visit, request a package, or book a call). 5 What's the best call-to-action for investor outreach? Offer the easiest next step: a short call, a curated site/incentive package, or a guided tour. Make the CTA concrete and time-bound (for example, "Can we book a 15-minute call this week?"). > But in order to be effective, a sales pitch must be adaptable, concise, and memorable. That’s a tall order for a pitch that is only supposed to last the [amount of time it takes to ride an elevator](https://tangiblewords.com/3-tips-to-make-great-sales-pitch-for-conferences/).
