Contradiction???

Last time when I blogged about how to get though the first few weeks in your new job listening more and talking less, a friend of mine questioned "so how do you make a good introduction without sounding too verbose?". Her view was that while you don’t need to talk a lot and give complete details of what you did in the past, one has to have a introduction akin to a "elevator pitch" that is so popular across the world.

So what is an elevator pitch and how to make it, well I did some goggling and came across this link.
