Elevator Pitch Challenge: In Pursuit of New Business
We held the Elevator Pitch Challenge as a way to focus on clients and ensure everyone can easily explain FIRST and our service offerings to be our best brand ambassadors. Lots of fantastic entries came in, which are in the judging process.
Stay tuned for the winner announcement. In the meantime, keep practicing those elevator pitches. You never know when it might come in handy!

As We Come to the End of August, STEPember Approaches
Our STEPtember challenge promotes walking for points and gives you an opportunity to network with your FIRST colleagues!
The beauty of walking is, it’s free! It doesn’t require special equipment and it can be done almost anywhere. From improving your mood to speeding up your metabolism, and even increasing your energy levels, the benefits are endless! Last year, about 25% of FIRST team members participated in the challenge and walked 54,840,399 steps! That is roughly 22,850 miles or 36,774 kilometers!
Have you signed up yet? We’ll be kicking things off on September 4th, register here before it’s too late!
