I’m often asked for an ‘Elevator Pitch’ on what it is that NetApp do, usually the person asking knows that NetApp is a storage company, what they’re asking is more to try and establish what value it is that we offer over and above other storage companies. You’d think that something as short as an elevator pitch would be easy, but the whole idea is to condense a lot of information into maybe a 60 second statement and I’ve seen a lot of people really struggle with this.
A link to a ppt slide to support this pitch is here and a video of my Elevator Pitch is below, its served me well
Matt – congratulation on the launch of your video blog – fantastic ! Love the elevator pitch – it’s the shortest and most precise I have heard ever, and after 8 years in the company I’ve heard a few versions 😉 I will make this pitch my own … Thanks Matt …
Thanks Thomas, after chatting to you in Denmark last week I decided I really should get this off the ground.
awesome stuff. please load more videos if possible. the one on insight this year?
Jess, I delivered my talk at Insight in Dublin last night, so now ‘The Storage Guy’ is out there we can make the videos available, I’ll try and upload them tomorrow
On the money! 😉
Thanks Scott, I’ve got another few like this ready to post, I’ll get the next one up in a few days

Outstanding pitch Matt !! I’ve used it since the training.
Thanks for setting up your site. I look forward to leveraging more of your great work.
I love it, straight, simple and to the point, how can’t this resonate with someone?
So great! REALLY is! Could you share some slide and the short video with China team? I will try to make a localizaton version.
